Pierre Poilievre, the Canadian Conservative leader, announced on Wednesday that his party intends to submit a no-confidence motion as soon as possible in an attempt to topple the Liberal government led by Justin Trudeau.

Singh was urged by Poilievre to back the motion and initiate an election.

"Will Jagmeet Singh betray Canadians once again?" Poilievre declared at an Ottawa news conference. "It's time for the NDP to prove their commitment."

Singh refused to say if his party would support the Conservatives.

"During a Montreal party caucus meeting, Singh stated that they would evaluate each vote and make a decision based on what is best for Canadians. Unlike Poilievre, who wants to play games, they are focused on getting things done for the country."

Singh dismissed Poilievre's request for a response prior to the byelections on Monday.

Singh directly told Pierre Poilievre that he wouldn't listen to him.

The NDP withdrew from a supply-and-confidence agreement with Trudeau's minority Liberal government last week, which helped keep it in power. The deal, reached in 2022, meant the NDP would support the federal government on no-confidence votes in exchange for progress on shared priorities.

"Singh announced on Wednesday that we have decided to end the agreement. Now, we are in a standard minority government, and we will make decisions based on every vote that comes before us."

The next Canadian federal election is scheduled for October 2025.

Currently, the Liberals hold 154 seats, the Conservatives have 119, the NDP has 24, and the Bloc Québécois, a Quebec-based party focused on sovereignty, has 32 seats in the Canadian House of Commons.

Canada’s Parliament is schedule to resume sitting Monday.

Yves-Francois Blanchet, the leader of the Bloc Québécois, has stated that his party is open to supporting the government provided that the Liberals address concerns such as enhanced senior care and greater autonomy in immigration matters for Quebec.

Conservatives are leading the polls, with the NDP in third place, while Trudeau is not well-liked by many voters.

During a caucus retreat in Nanaimo, B.C., Trudeau was questioned about remarks made by Quebec Liberal MP Alexandra Mendes, who stated in a French interview that many of her constituents believe he should resign as party leader.

"In a democracy, it's crucial to have diverse perspectives, and this is especially important in the Liberal Party. The truth is, we're all focused on ensuring Canadians feel confident and supported in the future."

His government will continue to introduce programs that assist Canadians with dental care for seniors and childcare, as stated by Trudeau.

In June, the Liberals suffered a significant loss in a Toronto byelection, relinquishing a seat they had held for three decades.

Two more byelections will be held Monday in Montreal and Winnipeg.

Trudeau was asked if those elections would be a referendum on his leadership.

""Byelections are crucial because they allow voters to express their concerns while also demonstrating their aspirations for the future," he stated."

Poilievre criticized Trudeau for selecting Mark Carney, a former governor of both the Bank of England and Bank of Canada, to lead a committee on economic growth.

Poilievre called Carney an unelected "phantom finance minister."

He stated that if one is going to control the actions, they should be present in the House of Commons.
