Original Toronto Star caption: Former liberal leader Robert Nixon (middle) heckles the Conservative benches during the budget speech as Liberal Leader Stuart Smith (left) and David Peterson (L-London Centre) look on. However, Smith called the budget a reasonable economic document given the mess this government created over the past five years. They're attempting to remedy that, and as such we'll accpet it.
