Boom! Liberals float possibility of making motion on foreign interference a confidence vote | National Newswatch
OTTAWA — Liberal House Leader Mark Holland isn't ruling out turning a Conservative motion on foreign interference into a confidence vote that could topple the government and would test the strength of the supply-and-confidence deal between the Liberals and the NDP.
Alberta MP Michael Cooper said Telford is"a critical witness to get to the heart of the scandal." He said she should be able to answer what Trudeau knows about Beijing's attempts at meddling, when he learned about it and what he did about it. It certainly could be the first real test of the supply-and-confidence arrangement the NDP and Liberals agreed to a year ago. Under that deal, the NDP is supporting the government on budgets and other votes that are automatically viewed as confidence matters, in exchange for the government moving on key NDP priorities such as dental care.The agreement, reached in early March 2022, does address situations in which the government declares a confidence vote on other matters.
The Liberals are on the same page with the NDP about wanting to look at foreign interference from all other countries, not just China. However, thus far, Trudeau has rejected calls for a public inquiry, choosing instead to appoint a"special rapporteur" to oversee an investigation on the issue.
