On Friday, the Tories released the text of a motion they planned to bring to the House of Commons on Monday, quoting NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh's criticism of the Liberals.
On Sunday, Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's recent trip to the United States for a meeting with president-elect Donald Trump, suggesting that Trudeau approached the discussion from a "position of weakness" rather than seeking gains for Canada .
“They’re talking of a big game and all this stuff, and when the rubber hits the road they’re actually too afraid to move forward,” she told reporters on Parliament Hill.Eventually, Fergus told the Commons he had scheduled opposition days for Thursday and Friday, meaning the government could face another non-confidence vote as early as Monday.
That is also the deadline for the House to vote to approve billions of dollars in spending, without which some government departments risk running out of money. Treasury Board President Anita Anand introduced a request last month for $21.6 billion to fund programs including housing, dental care and the national school food program.
“Even the Liberal Speaker has ruled that Justin Trudeau must face opposition debate on nine years of his failures,” he wrote, confirming the Conservatives will put forward three non-confidence motions.The Tories say they will only end their filibuster if the Liberals provide documents they’re demanding, or if the NDP agrees to vote non-confidence in the government.
