OTTAWA, March 11 (Reuters) - Canada's Liberal Party will not bring down the minority Conservative government on a vote that will scrap an education tax break and is likely to take place for this week, a legislator said on Tuesday.

Finance Minister Jim Flaherty introduced a budget motion on Tuesday that would killing off an education tax break proposed by the Liberals and already passed by the House of Commons.

"The Liberal Party will not bring the government down on this motion, on this budget at this time," John McCallum, Liberal member of parliament responsible for finance matters, told reporters. (Reporting by Randall Palmer; editing by Janet Guttsman)
