First Conservative motion attempting to bring down Liberals to simply ask if House has confidence in Trudeau

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has confirmed his party is putting forward a non-confidence motion next week and the wording is very straight forward.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has confirmed his party is putting forward a non-confidence motion next week and the wording is very straight forward.

“The House has no confidence in the Prime Minister and the Government,” the motion will state, a spokesperson for Poilievre has confirmed to CTV News.

Poilievre says he’s doing this to force a "carbon tax election."

It will be the party’s first chance to topple Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s minority government since the Liberals’ supply-and-confidence deal with the NDP ended earlier this month.

“We need a carbon tax election so Canadians can vote to axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime with a common sense Conservative government,” Poilievre said to reporters on Wednesday.

Poilievre also put the NDP on notice to support the motion.

“I also call on the NDP. Don't wait for the Bloc to bail you out. You announce your position on this motion to trigger a carbon tax election,” Poilievre said. “Now you have the motion. It's in your inbox.”
