Maybe Iggy can...

...put him on probation...
Ignatieff had to rein in the anger of several MPs at the caucus meeting … who demanded that he kick Coderre out of the caucus. … Québec MPs explained to the leader that doing so would make him a ‘martyr’ and provoke a wave of sympathy for him in Québec.

‘One more error and he will be ejected,' a reliable source indicated.

FROM THE COMMENTS:
"Well, why not? Six Liberal MPs from Newfoundland got a pass for bucking their leader. Ignatieff would hardly be charitable if he let one lone Quebec MP get thrown under the bus for his transgression, now would he?"

LAST WORD: And a little rope-a-dope...
-- QUEBEC -- Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff sidestepped questions Saturday on the recent resignation of his Quebec lieutenant.

Instead of talking about Denis Coderre, Ignatieff promoted plans for a high-speed train between Quebec City and Windsor, Ont.
