The NDP and Bloc Québécois say they will oppose the motion in a vote thatB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s set to happen after question period today.

On Tuesday evening Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre put forward two more non-confidence motions he plans to put before the House.

One quotes other opposition leadersB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™ own words of criticism for the prime minister and the government in a bid to wedge them into taking down the government.

The other cites housing costs, crime rates, centralized government and the impact of the carbon price on food costs.
