Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau says the Conservativegovernment's decision to delay itsbudget until at least April shows the prime minister is scrambling to come up with a plan amid plunging oil prices and economic uncertainty.

"Theyre making it up as theygo Im a teacher and their excuses are the political equivalent of 'the dog ate my homework,'"Trudeau told a crowd of supporters gathered for a rally in London, Ont., Tuesday night.

"Oil prices are through the floor, and Mr. Harper has no backup plan. None," he told a small room packed with hundreds of supporters.

Trudeau, who is in London for a two-day meeting with his caucus, was picking up on a theme he raised earlier in the day, saying a Liberal government under his watch would be more fiscally prudent than the ruling Conservatives.

"Mr. Harper is now facing a very differentreality, which has him lurching about, searching for a plan B, making it up as he goes along," Trudeau said at a midday press conference.

Asked for details about his own party's economic platform, Trudeau told reporters the Liberals' full program would be released during an election campaign.

But Trudeau was adamant that a Liberal platform would include reversing the Conservative government's recently announced income-splitting plan.

"I think I've been very clear on the prime minister's income-splitting plan, which gives over $2 billion of our rapidly now disappearing surplus to the richest 15 per cent of Canadians," he said.

"Canadians worked hard to get through some difficult years, and the fact is that our prime minister's priority is to support the wealthiest Canadians, like his family and mine, instead of actually building support for the middle class and those who hope to join," Trudeau said after his morning meeting with his caucus.

Earlier, in remarks to kick off his caucus meeting, Trudeau said he had visitedMeridian Technologies Inc., an automotive parts supplier.
