NDP Supports Minority Liberal’s Budget

Ontario’s budget has won support from the New Democrats, averting a spring election.
N-D-P Leader Andrea Horwath announced today she’ll help ensure passage of the minority government’s budget.
Many N-D-P demands were met in the budget, and Horwath notes Premier Kathleen Wynne also agreed to her extra demand for a financial accountability office.
The Liberals need the N-D-P onside to pass the budget because the Progressive Conservatives said they would not support it even before it was introduced.
