OTTAWA, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) — The Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) will bring a motion of non-confidence in the House of Commons as early as next week, it has now been confirmed by party leader Pierre Poilievre.
Speaking with reporters today in Ottawa, Poilievre confirmed that a confidence motion will soon be introduced.
“It’s time to put forward a motion for a carbon tax election,” he said, adding that an election is needed because the Trudeau Liberals plan to raise the carbon tax another 300 percent in the coming years.
“Canadians can vote to axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget, and stop the crime with a common-sense Conservative government.”
CPC Branden Leslie on X today confirmed the forthcoming confidence motion as well.
“It’s official that next week, Conservatives will introduce a motion of non-confidence in the House of Commons,” he said.
“Please SHARE this post to send the NDP a message that Canadians want a carbon tax election NOW!”
The text of the non-confidence motion will read, “The House has no confidence in the Prime Minister and the Government.”
An earlier report from the Toronto Star said sources let it be known that Trudeau’s government will let a confidence motion proceed as early as September 24. On this day, Poilievre will be allowed to have full control of the House’s agenda and introduce motions at will.
While it is traditional confidence motions are used mainly when it comes to budget, they can also be brought forth for other reasons as well. The CPC will need the support of Jagmeet Singh’s New Democratic Party (NDP) at a minimum and the Bloc Québécois. Should the initial motion or any others pass, Trudeau will have no choice but to dissolve parliament, which would trigger a general election, most likely in November.
The confidence motion comes after Trudeau lost support from the socialist NDP to keep him in power. Singh pulled his official support for Trudeau’s Liberals two weeks ago. However, in recent days he has been mum on whether he will vote for or against the Liberals when a vote occurs.
The Trudeau Liberals have also lost two recent byelections, one in Quebec and the other in Ontario, in what were considered “safe” Liberal ridings.
The most recent loss suggests that Trudeau’s Liberal government is indeed hanging on by a thread, according to all recent polls that have shown that Poilievre’s Conservative Party is set to win big when the next federal election takes place.
The souring of voters to the Liberal Party under Trudeau comes at the same time that even some of his MPs are turning on him. Last week, LifeSiteNews reported that Liberal MP Alexandra Mendès, who serves as the assistant deputy speaker of the House of Commons, became the first in the party to publicly call for Trudeau to resign, saying directly that he is not the “right leader” for the party.
