Canadian Government Survives, Again
|
Stephen Harper
Canada’s parliamentary turmoil abated, at least temporarily, on Wednesday after an opposition alliance backed down from its efforts to defeat the government.
The Conservative government led by Prime Minister Stephen Harper escaped defeat by a coalition of three opposition parties last month. The Conservatives were re-elected in the fall but did not receive a majority of votes.
On Tuesday, the Conservatives presented a budget promising tens of billions of dollars in new spending, much of it in areas like housing that the party has never previously championed.
