MPs will vote on ************* Leader Pierre Poilievre’s motion after question ******* in the House of Commons, but there’s been no indication from other parties of plans to join him in toppling the Liberals.

The motion, which was tabled last Thursday, 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.

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

Federal MPs on Sept. 25 voted down 211-120 a motion stating that “the House has no confidence in the Prime Minister and the government.”

Bloc Quebecois has given the Liberals a deadline of Oct. 29 to meet its demands in exchange for support, particularly around seniors’ benefits, or potentially face losing its support on future non-confidence votes.

The Bloc tabled its own opposition motion Tuesday, pushing for an increase in old age pension payments for all seniors. That vote is expected later this week.

Meanwhile, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has previously said that the New Democrats won’t let Poilievre “call the shots.”

After Tuesday’s vote, the Conservatives are expected to table at least one more such motion before Christmas.

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