Ignatieff is doing damage control on the Home Reno credit:

This is a smart move by Harper. Force the opposition to vote down the tax credit in order to bring down the government, and make the first few weeks of the election all about the tax credit, which will lead well into a messaging campaign that accuses the Liberals of raising taxes. Force the Liberals into damage control mode now, and then control the terms of the debate later on. Very shrewd.
