Liberal House leader Steve MacKinnon signalled Tuesday that he’s concerned the government’s budget might not get support from the opposition benches, while at the same time dismissing some demands other parties have laid out.

The Liberal government will need the co-operation of at least one other party in order to pass the budget, which is being tabled on Nov. 4. Because the budget is a confidence vote, Canadians could be facing another election if it doesn’t pass.

"When I see opposition parties ruling out the possibility of voting for the budget, that's starting to worry me," MacKinnon told reporters on Parliament Hill.

Opposition parties have begun laying out some priorities for the upcoming budget.
