Internal Liberal power struggle over Chretien and Martin intensifies
The Ottawa clash pits Prime Minister Jean Chretien against Finance Minister Paul Martin in a furiously partisan battle. Chretien abruptly dismissed Martin, triggering broad Liberal backlash and fears of fiscal loosening under successor John Manley ahead of the next federal election. Alexa McDonough resigns as NDP leader, with Winnipeg MP Bill Blaikie seen as a possible successor candidate.
