Opposition fails to remove Canadian PM

No-confidence move in House of Commons gets 120 votes in support and 211 against.

OTTAWA: A no-confidence move by the opposition parties in the parliament of Canada failed to acquire the requisite number to remove Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. 

The no-confidence motion was tabled in the House of Commons by opposition Conservative Party of Canada against the prime minister. After voting in the move, 120 members of the house supported while 211 voted against it. Hence the motion failed to remove the prime minister.

Though the prime minister got a new lease of political life, observers said he was still facing the challenges of unemployment and housing sector crisis.

Earlier this month, New Democratic Party of Canada, an ally of the Trudeau government, announced that he was parting ways with the government. 

The political party and leaders of the ruling party of Canada are, however, still confident that there were no threat to the government and that general elections would not be held before 2025.
