Defence Minister David McGuinty says he has “every confidence” the Liberal government will be able to pass its fall budget through the current minority Parliament, despite his colleague’s concerns about securing enough votes.

Government House leader Steven MacKinnon recently said he’s worried the budget might not win enough votes to pass through the House of Commons and accused Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre of pushing for a Christmas election.
