-- HALIFAX -- While the outcome was hardly in doubt, Nova Scotia’s minority Conservatives were smiling broadly Thursday after easily surviving a confidence vote on their $8.4-billion budget.*
The fiscal plan, tabled April 29, passed third reading in the legislature by a vote of 31 to 20 with the support of the third-place Liberals.
The Liberal support means the Conservatives, who are approaching two years in power next month, will have at least another year to govern.
Liberals bring the pain
Launch yet another bloody sitzkrieg...
