Bloc, Tories foil bid to scrap tax cuts

[CHIMO]

Ottawa — Federal corporate tax cuts targeted for cancellation were granted a surprise reprieve Tuesday as the Conservatives and Bloc Québécois joined forces to prevent a Liberal bid to remove them from the 2005 budget.

The move frustrates the minority Liberal government's plans to pull cuts for large corporations from its fiscal blueprint. It's part of a deal it made with the NDP to secure parliamentary support for the budget.

It also raised hopes among business groups that the tax cuts will survive — and be passed into law — as part of the 2005 budget rather than being delayed until an undetermined future date.

The schemers keep up their antics. Wish a poll would come out showing that the NDP would increase their seats by say two and a half times and then see what these business groups would do. I hope they soon have to sh** bricks.
