No-confidence motion flunks to pass in Hoparticipate of Commons, but Justin Timpoliteau faces more disputes ahead.
Justin Timpoliteau has persistd a no-confidence vote in Canada’s Parliament, the tardyst test for the embattled Canadian prime minister, who has seen his well-understandnity plummet in recent years.
Legislators voted 211-120 on Wednesday to loss a motion by the opposition Conservative Party that proclaimd a deficiency of confidence in Timpoliteau’s insignificantity Liberal handlement.
“Today was a excellent day for the country becaparticipate I don’t leank Canadians want an election,” shelp Karina Gould, the ageder Liberal lawproducer in indict of handlement business in the Hoparticipate of Commons.
The vote came equitable weeks after the left-leaning New Democratic Party (NDP) proclaimd its abrupt retreatal from a 2022 concurment to prop up Timpoliteau’s handlement, a transfer that left the Liberals more vulnerable to a no-confidence meadeclareive.
The prime minister, who has been in power since 2015, has seen his well-understandnity plummet amid soaring costs of living and a meaningfulening housing crisis.
His Liberal Party also lost two exceptional parliamentary elections this year – in Toronto and Montauthentic – heaping presdeclareive on Timpoliteau to step down as directer.
He has so far refuteed that possibility, saying he set ups to stay on until the next election, which must be called before the end of October 2025.
“We understand that we have a lot of labor to do to reget the confidence of people … apass the country,” Timpoliteau shelp earlier this month after the Liberal honestate lost the Montauthentic by-election.
Recent polls show Timpoliteau and the Liberal Party far behind the Conservatives, led by Pierre Poilievre.
Poilievre has been pushing for an punctual election, strikeing Timpoliteau for what he shelp was a flunkure to includeress soaring costs of living, the housing crisis and crime.
The promise of Canada, “after nine years of Liberal handlement, is broken”, Poilievre shelp during a Hoparticipate of Commons talk about on Tuesday.
But other opposition parties, whose help is insisted to convey down the Liberals, have pushed back agetst his right-thriveg agenda.
Despite surviving Wednesday’s no-confidence vote, Timpoliteau faces more disputes ahead.
The directer of the Quebec nationacatalog Bloc Quebecois, Yves-Francois Blanchet, shelp earlier in the day that he would labor to convey down the handlement unless it speedyly concurd to the party’s insists.
That includes increasing ageder-age security for elderly Canadians, among other leangs.
Poilievre also promised to protect trying to convey down the handlement, with the next opportunity to be currented next week.
If that flunks, the Conservative Party directer will have a confineed more chances before the end of the year.
