In Quebec City, the Liberal caucus wrapped up a two-day meeting preparing for the upcoming session of the National Assembly.

Despite opposition calls for more economic stimulus, the Liberals said they have already put measures in place and now its just a matter of time.

Premier Philippe Couillard also explained he is close to the big goal of returning to budgetary balance this coming session.

To do that, he will need to cut another $1 billion. Couillard said he's looking everywhere to trim, but he pledged taxpayers won't have to pay more.

We are looking everywhere for savings, said Couillard,not only savings, but opportunities to do better.

Last week, Couillard was attacked by the PQ for being marked by Saudi values, a reference to the time he spent working in Saudi Arabia 20 years ago. He said the experience gave him insight.

It allowed me to feel what it means to be the foreigner, said Couillard,to feel what it means not to have the same colour of skin as the majority.

He added that the Liberals will introduce legislation on secularism this year.

On immigration issues, they will soon hold hearings on major reforms. Quebec wants to give employers more of a say.

Liberals say austerity plan is set

OTTAWA-

The Liberals say they will only support the government's upcoming terror bill if it includes oversight mechanisms for security agencies.

Despite the government's caginess on its contents, information leaked to media indicates it will broadly expand police surveillance powers. It will also outlaw the nebulous-sounding "promotion of terror."

The bill is expected to be tabled Friday.

Speaking earlier this week following a meeting of the House public safety committee, Liberal public safety critic Wayne Easter said those laws already exist - from preventative arrests and peace bonds to outlawing anyone who's gone abroad to participate in terrorism from trying to return.

"One key question is: Why have current laws not been utilized to the full extent we think they should be?"

On Wednesday, Easter said the Liberals remain "very open to what the government will propose."

Easter denied this might mean the party is softening its stance on Canada's military involvement in Iraq. The Liberals voted against sending fighter jets to assist in airstike against the Islamic State there.

"No, this is not a shift at all," he said. "We do think there should be a different strategy employed, one with the emphasis on humanitarian aid."

But the Liberals have a "serious caveat on this bill," he said, "and that is that there needs to be proper oversight of security agencies."
