OTTAWA — Relieved to still be prime minister, but chastei
his Liberal Party’s heavy election losses, Paul Martin saidTi
he would move quickly to replace defeated Cabinet members
then assess whether his minority government can tackle theta
issues on Canada’s national agenda.

The Liberals won 135 of the 308 seats in the House of Comi
a net loss of 33 seats, to lose their majority for the first time;
1993. To pass legislation, the Liberals will need support from si
er parties, but Martin said he would seek their support issue-by-i
rather than negotiating to form a formal coalition.
