Green party leader, Elizabeth May, has not been invited to the election debate. The broadcast consortium that hosts the debate decided May is not welcomed. Marco Dube, consortium spokesperson, said the five broadcasters wanted to invite only the four parties in the House of Commons. With the support  of  a million Canadians across the country, the Green party has yet to elect an MP.

Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff has made his first big campaign promise, and it's a policy that could benefit students.

The Quebec government has taken a big step towards the possibility of submitting a bid for the Winter Olympics. The government has hired the architecture and design firm Populous to help prepare a prep bid.

Sam Hamad - the minister for Quebec City- says Populous knows what to do as they are very specialized in sports infrastructure. Populous has worked on the planning and design of almost every Olympics since ninety ninety six.

Hamad says the province is proceeding with the bid even though Quebec City has not made an official decision on whether they want to host the games.
