The Conservative Party has announced plans to move a motion of non-confidence in the Liberal government, with a potential vote in the House of Commons set for as early as January 30.
In a letter posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, Conservative MP and chair of the Public Accounts Committee, John Williamson, revealed that the committee will meet on January 7 to discuss the motion. If the committee passes the motion, the result will be introduced to the House of Commons on January 27, when Parliament returns from its six-week winter break.
The Conservative Party has also stated that it will introduce a simple motion in the House upon its return, recommending that the House of Commons declare it has no confidence in Minister Justin Trudeau and his government.
“If the motion passes, all MPs will have the opportunity to debate and vote on the non-confidence motion,” Williamson said. “This could happen as early as January 30.”
Williamson emphasized that parliamentary committees are a reflection of the larger House of Commons and, therefore, it is appropriate for them to begin deliberations on non-confidence motions even during the parliamentary adjournment.
Should Liberal members of the committee attempt to delay or filibuster the process, Williamson indicated he is prepared to call additional meetings throughout January to ensure the motion moves forward.
This marks the third non-confidence motion introduced by the Conservatives in recent months, signaling the party’s ongoing efforts to challenge the Trudeau government’s leadership. If the motion is successful, it could lead to a broader debate and a critical vote on the government’s future.
