Conservative MP John Williamson says the Committee on Public Accounts, which he chairs, will return three weeks early on January 7 to force a non-confidence motion in Parliament.

The underlying principle of Canada's Parliament and constitutional order is responsible government, said Williamson in a letter to committee members published on social media, noting the federal government must maintain the confidence of Parliament in order to function.

"It is now clear that the Liberal Government does not have the confidence of Parliament," wrote Williamson.

"Conservative, Bloc Quebecois and NDP members — representing a majority of MPs — have all announced they will vote non-confidence in the Liberal Goverment. This would force a federal election"

Parliamentary committees, explained Williamson, are a refection of the House of Commons.

"Given the oversight mandate of the Public Accounts Committee, it is appropriate for its members to begin these non-confidence deliberations while Parliament is adjourned until late January," he wrote.

"In the event Liberal members on the committee attempt to filibuster and delay the passage of this non-confidence motion, I am prepared to schedule meetings throughout January."

I had to think about this one after reading it early this morning.

Like you Robert, I spent the last half of my professional life both in Canada and USA, as well as working closely with many different public safety locations throughout the USA and Canada. Only 3 States I have not been in and the Territories in Canada. More than a decade off and on in Sports Television, including 2 years full time on a NASCAR gig. Followed by a decade in public safety communications support. Worked with thousands of people on the many projects. Also had assignments and travel in other international locations.

Most Americans knew very little about (aboot) Canada and most of them just don’t care unless something intersects them personally. We’re the frozen north if they think of us at ...
