NDP says abstention is an option on budget vote

The NDP is not ruling out the possibility that some or all of its seven MPs could abstain when the minority Liberal government’s budget is put to a vote in the House of Commons.

The government has warned of the possibility of a snap election unless at least one other party steps forward to allow approval of the budget, which will be tabled Tuesday.

NDP Interim Leader Don Davies said it’s possible that some NDP MPs will opt to vote neither for nor against the budget.
