Poilievre to submit letter to Governor General asking to recall House for confidence vote

Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre announced that he will submit a letter to the Governor General asking to recall the House for a confidence vote.

This follows Jagmeet Singh's letter earlier this morning saying the NDP "will vote to bring this government down."

This is a breaking news story… Previous story follows.

After months of being non-committal, in a new letter, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says his caucus "will vote to bring this government down," sometime in 2025.

In the letter, addressed to Canadians, Singh says he will "put forward a clear motion of non-confidence in the next sitting of the House of Commons," and "give Canadians a chance to vote for a government who will work for them."

This latest blow — seeing the NDP pull out the only pillar of parliamentary support the embattled Liberal government was relying on to stay in power — comes just ahead of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau arriving at Rideau Hall to shuffle his cabinet.

"I called for Justin Trudeau to resign, and he should," Singh said, not specifying how early into the 2025 sitting this motion moving to defeat the prime minister's Liberal government could be advanced.
