| Canada's Gov't Survives Confidence Vote |
| 2005-06-22 |
| Prime Minister Paul Martin's minority government survived a confidence vote Tuesday, easing the risk that Canada's scandal-plagued leadership could fall. In a 152-147 vote, members of Parliament approved a second reading of the Liberals' contentious budget deal with the New Democrats calling for $3.7 billion in additional social spending. A vote on a budget bill or its amendments is seen as a confidence vote, and an election would likely be called if the government were to lose. |
