The chair of Khalistanis sympathizer and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in danger. Justin Trudeau, who has been at loggerheads with India on issues, got a big shock when Jagmeet Singh’s New Democratic Party (NDP) has announced to bring a no-confidence motion against the minority government in January. New Democratic Party (NDP) leader Jagmeet Singh, a former ally of Justin Trudeau, has announced that the party will bring a no-confidence motion to topple the already beleaguered Canadian prime minister-led minority government. Jagmeet Singh has announced this in an open letter. Jagmeet Singh has said that he will formally table a no-confidence motion in the House of Commons after the winter recess on January 27 to topple the minority Liberal government.

This step has been taken at a time when Justin Trudeau is already under pressure to step down. Canada’s next federal elections are scheduled to be held no later than October 20, 2025. The Liberals will name an interim leader to take over as prime minister. They will also set up a special leadership convention to elect a new leader. However, if federal elections are held before the conference, the party will be forced to contest the elections under an interim PM not elected by its members. A Liberal leader is elected through a special convention. Therefore, there is no formal party mechanism to remove Trudeau if he wishes to stay. However, he may resign if his own cabinet members and a large number of MLAs ask him to go. The Canadian government must demonstrate that it has the confidence of the House of Commons. Votes on the budget and other spending are considered “confidence measures” and if a government loses, it falls.

Ultimate power in Canada rests with the Governor General, who is the representative of the head of state, King Charles. While Governor General Mary Simon could, in theory, remove Trudeau, she is unlikely to do so if Trudeau enjoys the confidence of the House. Trudeau’s minority government, which was previously supported by Singh’s NDP. Can count on the support of other parties. It is scheduled to reopen on January 27 after a month-long winter break.
