Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre announced that he plans to put forward a non-confidence motion in the House of Commons as soon as possible.

Parliament will resume on Monday, September 16, when Poilievre will have his first chance to do so.

Last week, the NDP ended their ‘Supply and Confidence’ agreement with the Liberals, which had shielded the government from confidence votes. This move now makes Poilievre’s announcement a litmus test for the NDP.

“It’s put up or shut up time for the NDP,” Poilievre said.

If NDP MPs side with the Liberals despite not having to do so any longer, tearing up their agreement will appear to have just been for show. On the other hand, if enough NDP MPs vote “No,” Justin Trudeau will be forced to either resign or dissolve parliament and call an election. 

Poilievre further criticized the Liberals for bringing former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney into their ranks, repeatedly calling him ‘Carbon Tax Carney.’ He accused Carney of pushing the carbon tax even more aggressively than Trudeau and labeled him a globalist, citing his ‘Davos agenda’.

Carney announced he was joining the Liberals on Monday to chair a task force on economic growth, aiming to shape the party’s economic policies for the upcoming election.
