Parti Quebecois: Finance Minister Nicolas Marceau

Finance Minister Nicolas Marceau: The possibility of a non-confidence vote on the budget arose Thursday when Finance Minister Nicolas Marceau announced Quebec's balanced budget will be delayed until 2015-16, primarily because of lower-than-expected revenues, according to Huffington Post. The opposition say they can't accept that scenario and QUEBEC - Quebec's two major opposition parties say they'll vote against the next provincial budget when it is tabled in the spring a move that would trigger a general election. Marceau, whose Parti Quebecois has only a minority government, said the province should post a deficit of $2.5 billion this fiscal year instead of a projected balanced budget.
