Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has survived his first confidence vote of the fall sitting.
Members of Parliament voted on Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s attempt to bring down the Liberal government after question period on Wednesday, and the non-confidence motion was defeated 211-120.
Reacting to the looming questions, Government House Leader Karina Gould accused the Conservatives of “playing games.”
“I think it's pretty lame that they're going to put forward another non-confidence vote tomorrow, basically the same thing that they did just hours before,” Gould said. “But I think it shows the desperation of Mr. Poilievre.”
