TORONTO -- Premier Kathleen Wynne says she's pleased the New Democrats will support her budget and avert a provincial election.
Now that the threat's over, she says she'll look at dates for two byelections in London and Windsor.
The seats were vacated in February by former cabinet ministers Dwight Duncan and Chris Bentley.
NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says her party will prop up the minority Liberals for now because they've met enough of her demands.
Horwath says Wynne didn't give them everything they wanted, but it's enough to gain NDP support.
The budget included NDP ideas to lower auto insurance premiums, as well as boost funding for home care and youth unemployment programs.
Last week, Wynne also agreed to Horwath's new demand for a financial accountability office, modelled on the parliamentary budget office in Ottawa.
The Tories vowed to vote against the budget before they read it in the hopes of triggering an election less than two years after Ontario voters went to the polls.
But Horwath's decision puts that prospect to rest. She said her party will vote for the budget, rather than sitting on their hands as they did when the confidence motions went to a vote in the legislature last year.
