OTTAWA — Members of Parliament will vote today on a motion that could — but likely won't — bring down the minority Liberal government, and the Conservatives have already put the House of Commons on notice that more such votes are coming.
The NDP and Bloc Québécois say they will oppose the motion in a vote that's set to happen after question period today. On Tuesday evening Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre put forward two more non-confidence motions he plans to put before the House. One quotes other opposition leaders' own words of criticism for the prime minister and the government in a bid to wedge them into taking down the government.
The other cites housing costs, crime rates, centralized government and the impact of the carbon price on food costs.If any of the non-confidence motions were to pass, the government would be defeated and Canadians would very likely see an immediate election.Laura Osman, The Canadian Press
