The Liberal party has 169 seats, a mere three seats short of achieving a majority. Hence, they require the support or abstention of a minimum of three MPs to guarantee their survival in the confidence vote on the budget.
The Conservatives, Bloc, and NDP are anticipated to contest the budget, as it is likely to be exceedingly detrimental and surpass Justin Trudeau's spending levels. Subsequently, they will observe Remembrance week, resulting in the first confidence vote potentially occurring in mid-November.
Carney and his Liberals have been employing public relations strategies to showcase the upcoming budget to Canadians, including televised appearances and re-establishing a strong position against Trump subsequent to Carney's approval of Doug Ford's no-tariff advertisement.
The Liberal minority government's forthcoming budget plan holds more significance than mere numbers, as it also establishes who maintains authority. Might the opposition succeed in forcing a federal election? The outcome remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, in a move that underscores the importance of transparency and accountability, the House of Commons has officially voted to launch an investigation into Mark Carney's stock holdings.
