Subhead:The non-binding Conservative motion, on tabling a spring budget, passed 166-164 with opposition support due to four Liberal absences.#
Parliament passed a non-binding Conservative motion Monday night ordering Prime Minister Mark Carney to table a spring budget. It passed 166-164 with opposition support due to four Liberal absences, according to iPolitics.
Interim leader Andrew Scheer, who sponsored the budgetary motion, has criticized the Throne Speech for its lack of detail regarding the implementation of the Liberal platform.
“You have to provide some kind of a road map to get there,” Scheer said last week. “He [Carney] won’t get the benefit of the doubt that Justin Trudeau had when he first started in this place.”
