Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff suggests the proposed coalition government would have had credibility issues.
Speaking in Montreal on Sunday, Ignatieff said the coalition came at a time when the Liberals' right to govern would have been called into question, adding "there was also a question concerning the legitimacy of the coalition that troubled me."
The Liberals received just 26 per cent of the vote in last October's Federal election, losing 19 seats.
Ignatieff said a coalition government made up of the Liberals, NDP and Bloc Quebecois would have deeply divided Canadians.
The Liberal leader said the coalition was not undemocratic, but it would have given Canadians the feeling the parties had "in some sense or another stolen power."
