Government faces third Tory non-confidence vote

The Liberals are set to face a third Conservative non-confidence vote today, but the government is likely to survive with the support of the NDP.

Members of Parliament are supposed to vote on a motion that quotes NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh's criticism of the Liberals and asks the House to agree with Singh and vote to bring down the government. Singh said last week he is not going to support the Conservatives, so the motion will likely fail. The House is also supposed to vote on an NDP motion calling on the government to expand the GST break and the $250 "working Canadians rebate" to fully retired seniors and people who rely on disability benefits.

As opposition parties continue to use procedural tactics to stall one another's motions, the House is facing a deadline on Tuesday to vote to approve billions of dollars in government spending.
