The "Fixed Election Dates" Bill received Royal Assent in May, meaning its now law.
Harper cannot call an election whenever he wants. The next election will be in October 2009....or sooner if the opposition topples the government with a non-confidence vote.
This legislation really puts the ball in the opposition's court.
