US EditionCarney Says He’s Prepared to Fight an Election Campaign if Budget Doesn’t Pass
- On Nov. 1, Prime Minister Mark Carney said he is prepared to fight an election if his minority Liberal government fails to pass the Nov. 4 budget in the House of Commons.
- Carney needs three opposition votes to pass the plan as the Liberal Party faces Conservative Party and New Democratic Party hesitancy amid internal debates and NDP conditions.
- Restructuring federal finances aims to bring Canada's operating account back into balance within three years, with increased defence spending and program reductions of 7 and 15.
- Losing the budget vote would trigger an election a little more than six months after the last campaign, as budget votes amount to confidence votes and would bring down the government.
- Carney apologised to U.S. President Donald Trump over an Ontario anti-tariff ad that disrupted talks, while last month he set a $300-billion 10-year trade goal to boost non-U.S. trade.
