Bloc support for Tories to avert election call

CBC News:

The Bloc Québécois will support the Harper government's budget motion on Friday, averting an election call this week. The government is bringing forward a financial ways-and-means motion, which includes the popular tax credits for home renovation. It is considered a confidence issue, and its defeat could trigger an election.The Tories need support from either the NDP or the Bloc, as the Liberals have already stated they will vote against the government on any confidence motion. The Bloc's support means the minority Conservative government will survive at least until the first week of October, when the Liberals plan to introduce a no-confidence motion.
