Canadian Parliamentary Committee Will Convene Early January During Recess To Speed-up Vote of No-Confidence Expected to Defeat Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

And so it begins: the Parliamentary work to get rid of unpopular Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to begin way sooner than previously expected.

Parliament in Ottawa will only reconvene on Jan. 27, but a Canadian parliamentary committee led by an opposition Conservative Party lawmaker will begin holding meetings during the legislative recess.

The work is beginning early in hopes of expediting a vote of no-confidence that will mean the defeat of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government.

Reuters reported:

“The House of Commons Public Accounts Committee will begin meetings on Jan. 7 to consider and vote on a motion of non-confidence in the Liberal government, committee Chair John Williamson said in a letter to panel members. The motion would have to ultimately pass in the House of Commons to defeat the government.”

Trudeau is facing increasing pressure to quit ever since his Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned on Dec. 16.

Conservative Williamson is prepared to hold meetings in early January to get a non-confidence motion voted before the end of the month.

That timeline hits weeks earlier than a motion presented after the Parliament reconvenes.

“Trudeau’s options have narrowed since New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh, who has been helping keep the Liberals in power, said last week he would move to bring down the minority Liberal government and trigger an election.

[…] Singh has said he would present a motion of non-confidence after the House of Commons elected chamber returns from the winter break but he did not say how his party would vote on motions introduced by other parties. All opposition parties would need to back a single motion to bring down the government.”

The Public Accounts Committee is formed by five Liberal MPs, four Conservative MPs, and one each from the NDP and the Bloc Quebecois.

“’It is now clear that the Liberal Government does not have the confidence of Parliament. Conservative, Bloc Quebecois and NDP members — representing a majority of MPs – have all announced they will vote non-confidence in the Liberal Government’,” Williamson said in a copy of the letter he posted on social media.”
