Finance Minister Jim Flaherty listens to a question from a reporter Wednesday after announcing the federal budget will be come out on March 22. Flaherty promised the budget would avoid 'dangerous' new spending measures and won�t reverse a cut to corporate tax rates, a key Liberal demand. Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff told reporters later that day the finance minister was engaged in 'pre-budget manoeuvring.' The Liberals appear set to vote against the budget along with the Bloc Quebecois. If the NDP don�t support the budget, Canada will face another election. Flaherty criticized the opposition parties for trying to force an election. (Matthew Little/The Epoch Times)
