Premier Dalton McGuinty is stepping down as Liberal leader. He dropped that bombshell at an emergency meeting of his MPP's this evening. No reason was given for the move except to say it's time for a change. He says the party heirarchy has been asked to get the wheels in motion for a leadership convention to be held as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Thunder Bay Atikokan MPP Bill Mauro says he was surprised by the announcement but respects the Premiers decision.
