Conservatives Move Third No-Confidence Motion in Canadian House of Commons Over Jagmeet Singh’s Statements

December 4 :
The Canadian House of Commons will be the site of intense scrutiny on Thursday when the opposition Conservatives introduce their third no-confidence motion. The measure is drafted in response to recent remarks made by Jagmeet Singh, the leader of the New Democrats.
An astute no-confidence motion was crafted by the Conservatives by referencing a comment made by Jagmeet Singh earlier this year in which he criticized the minority Liberal administration and tore down the confidence and supply arrangement with the Prime Minister.

The two previous no-confidence motions against the government were also defeated last month by the same coalition of Bloc Quebecois and New Democratic Party members. In response to the proposed motion's phrasing, Singh stated, "won't play Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's games by voting to bring down the government on an upcoming non-confidence motion."

The House of Commons is being asked to acknowledge that it agrees with Singh and does not have faith in the government by quoting his critique of the Liberals in the resolution. Singh has stated that he will not call for an election because he thinks Poilievre will roll back the policies that the NDP contested.

We anticipate the motion's introduction on Thursday, with the debate and vote scheduled for December 2. Let me tell you, we will not stand by and let him cut people's necessities. "I want people to start benefiting from the pharma care legislation we passed," Singh said, adding that he personally wants dental care increased.

The next confidence vote that the Conservatives propose should be comfortably survived by the Liberals, thanks to the predicted backing of the NDP. The two previous no-confidence votes put up by the Conservatives were opposed by the Bloc Quebecois and the New Democratic Party. But since the last motion, Bloc Quebecois has declared it would no longer back the Liberals, who turned down its demand to reinstate age-based benefits for all Quebecers over 65.
