Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - A week ago, on Monday April 19, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland presented Canada’s budget for the fiscal year 2021-22 to the House of Common. Since the finance minister delivered that speech, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau‘s minority Liberal government has survived two non-confidence motions. These pertained to amendments. This morning, Monday April 26, the House will be asked to approve the Budget as a whole. THis is expected to prompt yet another non-confidence motion. The NDP party has promised to support the government and in this morning’s interview Rachel Blaney, the MP for North Island - Powell River will talk about the aspects of this budget she thinks work for her constituents? And what doesn’t?
