Utoo Radio with Other News Sources - September 18 2024 - The federal Conservatives will have their first chance to topple the Liberal government next week, with the first "opposition day" scheduled for Tuesday, September 24.
The Conservatives will be allowed to set the House of Commons agenda and introduce bills, including a potential motion of non-confidence.
If introduced, it will be debated on Tuesday and voted on the following day, September 25.
A confidence vote can trigger a snap election if a government cannot get a majority of support on a matter that is a test of confidence.
The Conservatives would need to win the support of the NDP and the Bloc Quebecois for any non-confidence motion to be successful.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will not be in Ottawa for a possible confidence vote. The opposition day comes just over a week after the House of Commons reconvened from a summer break.
