Canadian Parliament approves $21.6 billion in new spending amid political tensions.

Canadian Parliament approved an additional $21.6 billion in government spending, including funds for First Nations child services, dental care, and compensation for Quebec's asylum seeker services. The vote took place on the final day possible, amid tensions between the ruling Liberals and the opposition Conservatives, who voted against the spending due to ongoing disputes over the release of documents related to misspending on a green-tech fund. If not approved, departments like Immigration and Defence could face financial trouble.
