OTTAWA (Reuters) -The Canadian Parliament on Monday narrowly voted in favor of Prime Minister Mark Carney's first budget, staving off the threat of a second election in less than a year.
Legislators voted 170-168 to adopt a motion allowing the House of Commons to start studying the budget. Although there will be other votes in months to come, Monday's result indicates the budget should eventually be approved.
