RE:RE:Ontario Budget quote: With the Liberals controlling only a minority of seats in the legislature and the Progressive Conservatives vowing to vote against the budget, Ms. Wynne needs the support of the New Democrats to pass the spending plan and avoid an election.
But despite the budget’s aggressively progressive bent, NDP Leader Andrea Horwath was non-committal Wednesday.
“We’re going to take our time,” she told reporters. “We’ll let you know when we’re going to get back to you.”
Ms. Wynne suggested she would only have so much patience for Ms. Horwath. Asked if she would call an election herself if the NDP takes too long to decide whether to back the budget, Ms. Wynne said: “I am not going to rule anything out.”
