VICTORIA — British Columbia Premier Christy Clark’s government has survived a crucial budget vote in the legislature.
The Liberals managed to muster enough members to the legislature to get a 45-38 vote in favour of the budget, which now proceeds to third reading.
Independent MLAs John Slater and Vicki Huntington voted with the Liberals.
The budget support vote was being billed as an endorsement of Clark’s embattled leadership during a particularly rough time leading up to the May 14 provincial election.
