Bloc support for Tories to avert election call

[daleo]

The Bloc Québécois will support the Conservative government's budget motion on Friday, averting a federal election call this week.

The government is bringing forward a financial ways-and-means motion, which includes the popular tax credits for home renovation. It is considered a confidence issue and its defeat could trigger an election.

Bloc Leader Gilles Duceppe said his party had gone over the motion and supports it, in particular the tax credit. His party asked for the tax credit last November, and Duceppe said it would be idiotic to vote against it.

The Bloc's support means the minority Conservative government will survive at least until the first week of October, when the Liberals plan to introduce a no-confidence motion.
