On November 4, 2025, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first budget was supported by the Bloc Québécois and NDP, defeating a Conservative motion to reject the budget over deficit concerns and pipeline plans. Interim NDP Leader Don Davies criticized the Conservative proposal for suggesting cuts to public spending. A second confidence vote regarding a Bloc amendment is set for Friday, while the main budget vote is expected mid-November. The Liberals, holding 170 seats, remain short of a majority and face potential challenges from the NDP and other parties.
