The Conservatives have said they intend to introduce a motion of no confidence in the Liberal government in the new year.
If all goes as planned by the Conservatives, MPs could vote on a no-confidence motion as early as January 30.
in letter posted to X On Friday, Conservative MP John Williamson, chairman of the public accounts committee, announced that the committee would meet on January 7 to consider a motion of no confidence in the government.
Mr Williamson said he would table the results of the committee’s no-confidence vote in the House of Commons on January 27, when parliament returns from its six-week winter recess.
In a press release on Friday, the Conservatives said they would also table “simple and simple motions” once the Commons returns, and said the committee’s report to the Commons would make the following recommendations: No confidence and the Liberal government.
If passed, the motion would pave the way for all members of the House of Commons to debate and vote on a motion of no confidence in the Liberal government as early as January 30.
“The Government no longer owes the confidence of Parliament,” Mr Williamson wrote.
He also said parliamentary committees were “a microcosm of the House of Commons” and it was appropriate for MPs to begin debating a no-confidence motion while parliament was out of session.
If Liberal members of the committee try to filibuster and delay the passage of the no-confidence motion, Mr Williamson said he would be willing to schedule a committee meeting in January.
