OTTAWA — The Liberals want an amendment to the federal budget requiring periodic economic status reports to Parliament starting in March, says Leader Michael Ignatieff.
He said that’s the price of Liberal support for the budget, which Finance Minister Jim Flaherty brought down on Tuesday.
“We are putting this government on probation,” he said Wednesday.
The NDP and the Bloc Quebecois have already said they’ll vote against the budget and the Conservative government must have Liberal support to survive. Ignatieff said the budget doesn’t have everything he’d like to see, but it does contain some good elements forced on the Tories by the united opposition.
