Some of the so-called explosive testimony from the Gomery inquiry that Canadians aren't supposed to see has found its way onto U.S. political weblogs.

The testimony of some witnesses has been blocked from publication by Justice John Gomery in an attempt to protect their rights to a fair trial.

Three people criminally charged in the sponsorship scandal -- Jean Brault of Groupaction, Paul Coffin of Coffin Communications and former civil servant Chuck Guite -- are scheduled to go to trial this spring.

Brault testified before the inquiry on Thursday. His lawyers are asking to have his trial delayed until September. A decision on that is expected Wednesday. If it is granted, the media and opposition may push to have the ban lifted.

Even with the ban, as more and more opposition MPs are becoming aware of the testimony, what they are hearing has some thinking it could be enough to bring down the Liberal government.

"Members of Parliament say this dramatic testimony goes to the heart of the way the Liberal Party machine operated in Quebec under Jean Chretien and his Quebec lieutenant, Alfonso Gagliano," Fife said.

On CTV's Question Period, NDP Leader Jack Layton said Sunday the revelations are damning.

"There certainly seems to be an atmosphere of real disturbance because we've been waiting for Liberal corruption to be exposed, and perhaps we're on the threshold of seeing the dimensions of it."

At a Montreal rally for his supporters, Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe told them to be ready for an election.

He also called for the Quebec wing of the federal Liberal Party of Canada to start a trust fund to repay Canadian taxpayers for money allegedly misspent in the sponsorship scandal.

"We think it's time to make sure that they'll have enough money to reimburse. Why don't you start now?" he asked rhetorically.

Despite the damaging allegations, the Conservatives aren't pushing for an election anytime soon.

"Will there be a non-confidence motion next week? I doubt it," said Deputy Conservative Leader Peter MacKay said on Question Period.

Layton was also reluctant to see an election at this time, saying, he'd rather see Parliament keep sitting.

The Conservatives form the official opposition with 99 seats. The Bloc has 54 and the NDP has 19. The Liberals have 133.

Unless a large group of Liberals turns on their own party, any move to defeat the Liberals depends on the Conservatives.

The Prime Minister's Office released a statement Sunday saying it hoped the opposition parties would wait for the Gomery inquiry to finish before triggering an election.

Fife said some Liberals say privately that some individuals identified by Brault are vigorously denying his allegations.

CTV News has also learned that the Liberal Party of Canada will ask for full standing at the inquiry on Monday in order to challenge the allegations of Brault and others.
