OTTAWA — She has a clear conscience.

Green Party Leader Elizabeth May lashed out at recent news headlines implying she regretted voting in favour of the federal budget, telling the her mistake was taking Prime Minister Mark Carney at his word when he promised climate-related concessions in exchange for her support on Nov. 17.

“I don’t regret how I voted,” she said in an interview with the Tuesday.

“I think it was a mistake to believe (Mark Carney’s Liberals,) but I don’t regret how I voted. I have a clear conscience, I didn’t renege on a commitment,” added May. “I didn’t believe for one minute that the Prime Minister would say something on the floor of the House of Commons and put in print in the budget, commitments that would be reversed less than two weeks later. That’s a shocker.”
