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."

By Garry Clement

OTTAWA — For most of my career, I believed that if Canadians truly understood the scale of criminal infiltration, foreign interference, and systemic mismanagement within our national institutions, they would demand better. I still believe that.

But after the past several years—marked by mounting revelations, official denials, and a troubling reluctance to confront hard truths—I have come to believe something else as well: silence is no longer an option.

That conviction is why I chose to revisit and expand Undercover, retitling it 50 Years of Dirty Money, Organized Crime and the RCMP. This second edition is not merely an update. It is a reckoning—driven by recent events, by newly available evidence, and by the hard-earned lessons of five decades spent on the front lines of law enforcement, intelligence, and organized crime investigations.

The decision to return to this story ...
