'Canada: No-confidence motion against Trudeau's government on cards'

Canadian Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre said Wednesday his party plans to put forward a no-confidence motion “at the earliest possible opportunity” in hopes of bringing down Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government.

Poilievre called on New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh to support the motion and trigger an election.

“Will Jagmeet Singh sell out Canadians again?” Poilievre said at a news conference in Ottawa. “It’s put up or shut up time for the NDP.”

Singh refused to say if his party would support the Conservatives. “I’ve said on any vote we will look at the vote and we’ll make our decision,” Singh said during a party caucus meeting in Montreal.
