The New Democrats are confident there will be 'no surprises' in the federal budget and that the Liberals will honour spending pledges made in their confidence-and-supply pact.
OTTAWA -- The New Democrats are confident there will be "no surprises" in the federal budget and that the Liberals will honour spending pledges made in their confidence-and-supply pact.
In return for support on the budget and confidence motions, it secured a string of policy pledges from the Liberals. Many need funding this year. "I would expect that if there was going to be a surprise, there would have been a heads-up," Blaikie said. The NDP will also be expecting government backing for the creation of a "clean jobs" training centre.
"At some point in time, Canada's finances have to be reined in, spending has to be reined in," said Conservative MP and finance critic Ed Fast.
