FAQs
This is a PEACEFUL demonstration where, if we are heard, the following request will be made:
To invoke our Canadian Parliamentary process and ask parliament to hold a vote of no confidence in which, upon losing, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland must resign their positions and hold a Federal Election within 45 days of their resignation.
There are a few ways that a vote of no confidence can arise: through one of the opposition parties explicitly stating that the House has lost confidence in the incumbent government; through a question posed by the governing party; or, through the opposing parties’ rejection of an important piece of legislature, such as the budget or the Speech From the Throne (which establishes the government’s plan for the parliamentary session).
Once the incumbents are defeated in a confidence motion, the Governor General decides what happens next. The GG will either invite the opposition parties in the House of Commons to try to form a government (by creating a formal coalition or by having parties make agreements to vote together in the House), or dissolve Parliament and call an election.
