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."

We have reached an important milestone — and now we need your help more than ever.
Conservative MP Lianne Rood has officially agreed to sponsor Parliamentary e-Petition E-7025, bringing this issue of MP floor-crossing directly into Canada’s House of Commons.
This petition seeks to close a serious democratic loophole — one that allows MPs to abandon the party and values they were elected to represent, without meaningful consequences to voters. When this happens, it is not political courage — it is a breach of trust.
Too often, voters are told to “accept” decisions that serve personal or political convenience rather than the public mandate. This petition is about restoring balance — ensuring that your vote continues to matter after election day.
🔹 Signing the official parliamentary e-petition is crucial.
Only e-petitions submitted through Parliament can require a formal government response.
