Sep 25, 2024, 07:00 PM

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government has survived a vote of no confidence in the House of Commons. The vote, which was initiated by the Conservative Party, ended with a count of 211-120 in favor of the government. This marks the first confidence vote of the fall session and comes after the collapse of the supply-and-confidence deal. The support from the NDP and Bloc Quebecois was crucial in defeating the Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's motion. The vote took place at 3:30 p.m. ET. Trudeau's government, which has been in power for nine years, faced this significant challenge but managed to retain its position.
