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."

Carney offered Canadians words — Trump offered Americans results

Two national days of celebration, two different countries, two different leaders with two very different messages.
On Canada Day, Prime Minister Mark Carney offered a polished message of unity, courage, and conviction. He does this well. “We are strongest when we are united,” he told Canadians, praising diversity, kindness, and the national habit of building together.
Only two days later at Mount Rushmore, President Trump marked America’s two-hundred-and-fiftieth anniversary by celebrating American exceptionalism — the oldest republic, the most free people in the world, the strongest military, and so on. Not much about the loveliness of diversity in togetherness.

Is Carney economically inept? Or is it something worse?
You know what I think
For an alleged economic wizard, Prime Minister Mark Carney has been rather underwhelming on the fiscal file since assuming office. In fact, he has appeared outright inept, and the condo bailout in BC demonstrates it in spades. If the actions of the Carney government can’t be attributed to ineptitude, it signals something much worse.
The condo bailout is just the latest in a string of government actions that amount to simply tossing billions of tax dollars at issues and hoping they solve themselves. Developers built thousands of overpriced condo units in Vancouver and found themselves stuck with unsold units. Over a third of these apartments were priced at over a million dollars plus exorbitant, ongoing condo fees, so it shouldn’t have been surprising to many that nobody was snapping up these units.
