The Liberal government’s budget bill has passed a confidence vote in the House of Commons, after the Liberals accepted a Conservative amendment earlier this week.

Bill C-15, the Budget Implementation Act, was passed “on division” in the House of Commons on Feb. 26, meaning there was no recorded vote in Parliament but parties agreed to disagree on the bill and allow it to pass.
