The Conservatives put pressure on the Liberals in yesterday's
Throne speech and sources say the Grits are turning around and doing
the same to the N-D-P.

They believe Stephane Dion has devised a tactic that will allow
Liberals to express their objections to the throne speech without
bringing down the government.

The suggestion is that Dion will propose a throne speech
amendment worded in such a way that the N-D-P won't be able to
support it.

If all goes according to plan, the Liberal amendment will fail
and Liberal M-P's will then vote in favour of the main motion on the
Throne speech next week.
