Ottawa: Opposition parties in Canada have announced a no-confidence motion against the Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau.
According to international media reports, Justin Trudeau’s government is in danger of being toppled following allegations made by opposition parties.
Opposition parties have stated they will not contest in the by-elections, but will seek to have an investigation into the coronavirus epidemic and see why Justin Trudeau favored his friends. According to the report, opposition parties have also demanded that elections be held during the coronavirus.

However, two days ago, the Prime Minister’s spokesman had said that in such a situation, the holding of elections will not be free from any danger and citizens will not be able to exercise their right to vote.
The opposition Liberal Party has announced that it will launch a no-confidence motion against Justin Trudeau. Political observers say that if the no-confidence motion is passed, it will not be possible for Trudeau’s government to survive because it does not have a majority in the House and the coalition has also begun contacting the opposition.
A spokesman for the ruling New Democrats said “there will be no major progress in the no-confidence motion against Trudeau. The prime minister is going to announce the election anyway.”

Trudeau only won a minority of seats in the House of Commons in an election a year ago and needs the support of other legislators to survive. Jagmeet Singh, leader of the New Democrats, said his party would ensure Parliament kept working to help Canadians harmed by the pandemic.
“We will vote against an election,” he told a news conference but did not specify whether his party would oppose the Conservative motion or abstain. The Conservatives allege some of the more than C$ 200 billion ( US$ 152.5 billion) handed out in aid programs has been misspent.
In particular, they want to probe why the government awarded the contract to run a C$900 million (US$ 684 billion) student grant program to a charity that had paid Trudeau’s mother and brother for speaking engagements in previous years.
Trudeau has already apologized for taking part in a cabinet decision to use the charity, which pulled out of the program.
