Canada's Conservatives Plan for Jan 30th Non-Confidence Vote

Canada’s Conservatives are initiating preparations for a potential non-confidence vote against the Liberal government in the coming days following the House of Commons’ return from its holiday break in late January.

John Williamson, the chair of the public accounts committee and MP for New Brunswick Southwest, announced on Friday that he is recalling his committee to deliberate on a non-confidence motion in the government that he intends to present to the House upon its return.

Upon the committee members’ recall on January 7, Mr. Williamson stated that he would schedule meetings for the month if the Liberals on the committee attempted to filibuster the motion.

Williamson stated that he would present his report to the House of Commons on January 27, the day after Parliament returns from its six-week recess, following the passage of the non-confidence motion through the committee.

“This will guarantee that the House of Commons can debate and vote on the committee’s non-confidence matter as early as Thursday, January 30,” he told the Globe and Mail.

The Conservative maneuver intensifies the pressure on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government, which would fall if it lost a non-confidence vote.

The New Democrat Party (NDP)’s Jagmeet Singh, who has been supporting the Trudeau government, withdrew his party’s support for Trudeau earlier this month.

Singh stated that he intends to present a non-confidence motion during the party’s inaugural and sole opposition day of the forthcoming parliamentary session. However, he has not specified how his party would vote in response to a Conservative non-confidence motion.

Several Liberal MPs urged Trudeau to resign before the Commons’ Christmas recess, prompting preparations for the non-confidence motion.

Trudeau’s former finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, announced her resignation hours before the autumn economic statement’s scheduled presentation, which resulted in a decline in Liberal MPs’ support.

Trudeau informed Freeland days before the autumn economic statement that he intended to replace her with former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney, effectively sidelining her.

Trudeau abruptly appointed his former caretaker, Dominic LeBlanc, Finance Minister, and Carney, a former governor of the Bank of England, but he did not join the Liberal government.
