He may also be trying to dampen expectations at a time when health care and defence spending are likely to be priorities and economic indicators have been wobbly, said Discepola, vice-chair of the Commons finance committee.
The effect is that instead of spending "one billion on this, one billion on that," Discepola said, Canadians are more likely to see longer-term plans for programs to be rolled out over three to four years.
While he wouldn't set a timeline, Godfrey noted there are four key events looming for which Martin will want a policy, or its beginnings: the November convention, a throne speech sometime in the new year, a potential budget and an election call sometime in the spring.

Martin told reporters he's aware there's still a degree of cynicism among voters, especially in Quebec, where the Bloc Québécois is prepared to win the majority of seats.
But Discepola's numbers show that the Liberals can win between 25 and 30 seats in Quebec, a drop from the 37 seats the party won in 2000.

The Liberals hold a majority of seats in the House of Commons, so the only way Chretien could be defeated is if members of his own party vote with the opposition.
Montreal Liberal MP Nick Discepola said there are no clear rules for what constitutes confidence in the government but told CP it should be based on more than "the whim of the prime minister."
The issue of confidence in the government usually precedes votes on federal budget or major pieces of legislation outlined in a speech from the throne, such as last month's vote on the Kyoto environmental accord.
