The Tories tried to add an income-tax cut to the bill, but were outvoted by the NDP majority. The Tory plan would have cost the province important revenue and could have led to a downgrade by credit-rating agencies, Sala said.

The bill that passed early Friday also implements other measures promised in the budget, such as increases to tax credits for homeowners and renters.
