Liberal House leader Mark Holland isn\u0027t ruling out turning a Conservative motion on foreign interference into a confidence vote that could topple the government.
The Conservatives and the Bloc Quebecois both seem prepared to vote in favour of the motion. The NDP has yet to say where it stands on this specific motion, but intends to push its own motion demanding a full public inquiry be called on the issue of foreign interference.
Holland hinted those talks are underway now, when asked specifically if the government would move to declare the Conservative motion a confidence matter. Holland accused the Conservatives of playing partisan games with the very serious issue of foreign interference in Canada’s democratic processes. He said the government has offered to bring its national campaign chairs from 2019 and 2021 to the committees to answer questions.Article content
