Heading into the last week of the federal election campaign, national polls have the NDP in third place.
But Kootenay-Columbia candidate Wayne Stetski says he would still be honoured to serve as an opposition MP.
He’s discussed the issue with outgoing MP Alex Atamanenko who spent nine years on that side of the house.
The only local poll of the campaign suggested Stetski is running neck-and-neck with Conservative David Wilks.
