Default Tory MP threatens to vote against budget

Concerning the offshore accord and a 'broken promise'...

Nova Scotia Tory MP Bill Casey, who said he will vote against his government's budget, will meet again Tuesday with Finance Minister Jim Flaherty to try to win changes.


Casey has said the budget effectively kills the province's offshore accord.

...

Casey said the government broke its promise to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador to exclude offshore oil and gas revenues from the equalization formula for the transfer of federal money to the provinces.
