Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government survived another Conservative-led non-confidence vote on Tuesday, the second in less than a week. This, the same day the Bloc Quebecois had an opportunity to table a non-confidence motion of its own, opting instead to push the Liberals to support one of its key demands.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government survived another Conservative-led non-confidence vote on Tuesday, the second in less than a week.
This, the same day the Bloc Quebecois had an opportunity to table a non-confidence motion of its own, opting instead to push the Liberals to support one of its key demands.
The non-confidence motion stated in part that “the House has lost confidence in the government and offers Canadians the option to axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime.” It was defeated 207 to 121.
In a statement following the vote on Tuesday, the Conservatives pointed fingers at the NDP — saying Leader Jagmeet Singh “sold out working Canadians” — and at the Bloc, accusing them of “letting down Quebecers.”
“Canadians will have the chance to vote in a carbon tax election and Conservatives will continue to fight for it,” the statement reads.
The Liberals survived the Conservatives’ first non-confidence motion just six days ago, with the support of the NDP and the Bloc. Neither of those parties had since indicated they planned to change their votes.
In an interview on CTV's Your Morning last Friday, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said his party would not support the next Conservative-led motion.
