NDP MP Thomas Mulcair is stopping just short of announcing he'll run for the party's leadership, as the caucus started gathering to set strategy for the coming parliamentary session.
Mulcair, the party's deputy leader, said Tuesday he's in the process of consulting people on whether he should run. He said he wants to have his team in place before he formally announces his intention to run to replace late leader Jack Layton, who died of cancer on Aug. 22.
Despite talking openly about putting together his leadership team, Mulcair insisted "no decision has been taken."
"It's a serious decision. I take it seriously," he said.

After Jack had talked and Brian and Jack stood up to finish the presentation, Brian looked like he had been thrown a ball that he never thought he would be thrown. He grabbed Jack's arm with his left hand and shook hands with his right hand.
It now seems to me that Jack gave him the black spot.
