OTTAWA - The Liberals have introduced a motion aimed at toppling the Harper government, but it appears certain the Tories won’t fall.
The motion tabled today states simply: ‘That this House has lost confidence in the government.’
If it was to pass in a vote Thursday, it would force an election.
But NDP Leader Jack Layton says his party will back the government, guaranteeing its survival.
Layton says supporting the government is the only way to ensure speedy passage of legislation extending EI benefits for the unemployed.
