After a first ******* attempt, the Conservatives have tabled another non-confidence motion to try to bring down Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government.

************* MP Luc Berthold presented a second motion of the fall sitting to the House of Commons on Thursday, just a day after Pierre Poilievre’s first one was defeated.

Federal MPs on Wednesday voted down 221-120 a motion stating that “the House has no confidence in the Prime Minister and the government.”

Both the NDP and Bloc Quebecois joined the Liberals in defeating that motion.

In their latest challenge brought forward on Thursday, Poilievre blames the ******** government for “doubled housing costs, taxed food, punished work, unleashed ******” and calls it the “most centralizing government in ********* history.”

“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 ******,” the motion reads.

Trudeau asked to withdraw comment after MP suggested he was ‘sharing a bathtub with Tom Clark’

If a non-confidence motion were to pass, the government would fall and a snap election would be triggered.

The ********* Liberals need the support of at least one other party in the House of Commons to survive such votes, or pass any legislation.

MPs will debate the new motion on Thursday and vote on it next week on Tuesday.

After that, the Conservatives are expected to table at least one more such motion before Christmas.

Pressure is ramping up on the Liberals after a tumultuous summer, which saw two major byelection losses on top of the NDP withdrawing support from the supply-and-confidence agreement earlier this month.

Meanwhile, support for Trudeau and his ******** government has hit a “new low,” Ipsos polling exclusive to Global News shows.

On Wednesday, Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet also said the Liberals have until Oct. 29 to pass two Bloc bills or he’ll start talking to other parties about toppling the government.
