The Conservatives' first chance to topple the Liberal government comes next week
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will have his first chance to try to bring down the Liberal government next week.
The Conservatives will be allotted an "opposition day" or "supply day" — where opposition business takes priority over government business — next week, a spokesperson for Government House leader Karina Gould's office told CBC News.
A vote on a Conservative motion could happen on Wednesday, the spokesperson said.
Poilievre has said he'll trigger a non-confidence motion against the Liberals at his earliest opportunity.
The Conservatives would need the support of the other two major opposition parties in order to bring down Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government. It's not clear the NDP or Bloc Québécois would join with Poilievre's push for an early election at this point.
The NDP has said it's taking a vote-by-vote approach to the fall sitting in Parliament. But a few bills New Democrats pushed for as part of their now-terminated governing agreement with the Liberals are still being debated in Parliament. A vote to bring down the Liberals would effectively kill those pieces of legislation.
The Bloc also has signalled that it plans to use its leverage in the current minority government to push its own priorities.
