The Liberal minority government has survived a vote of non-confidence in the House of Commons by a count of 211-120.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre put forward the motion asking MPs to declare they did not have confidence in the prime minister or his government.

Poilievre failed to get the support of other opposition parties to bring the government down.

The Bloc Qu茅b茅cois and the NDP voted against the motion.

If the non-confidence motion had passed it would have defeated the government and very likely triggered an immediate election campaign.

The Bloc Qu茅b茅coisis have given the Liberals just over a month to pass two pieces of priority legislation as it applies pressure on the minority government in an increasingly precarious Parliament.

If the Liberals do not pass a bill about old-age security and another supply management by the Oct. 29 deadline, Bloc Leader Yves-Fran莽ois Blanchet says his party will begin discussions with other opposition parties about toppling the government.

含羞草研究社淲hat we are proposing is good for retired persons in Quebec, but also in Canada. It含羞草研究社檚 good for milk and eggs and poultry (producers) in Quebec, but also in Canada. So that含羞草研究社檚 good for everybody,含羞草研究社� Blanchet said in a news conference Wednesday.

The Bloc is looking to capitalize on its new-found power to make gains for its voters in Quebec, who tend to be older. Protecting supply management is also a major priority for dairy farmers in Quebec.

Blanchet says if the government agrees to its demands, the Liberals will avoid an election before Christmas.

However, he emphasized that his party will not blindly support the government含羞草研究社檚 agenda, even if the Liberals agree to the Bloc含羞草研究社檚 conditions.

含羞草研究社淲e will not ever support any motion or vote that would go against who we are 含羞草研究社� and who we are is well known,含羞草研究社� Blanchet said, noting that his party will vote against motions and bills that the Bloc perceives to be against the interests of Quebec.

The Bloc has introduced two private member含羞草研究社檚 bills that the party is looking to pass. Bill C-319 seeks to increase old-age security payments by 10 per cent for seniors between the ages of 65 and 74 and raise the exemption of employment income used to determine guaranteed income supplement payments from $5,000 to $6,500.

On Tuesday evening, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre detailed two more non-confidence motions he plans to put before the House.

One quotes other opposition leaders含羞草研究社� words of criticism for the prime minister and the Liberals in a bid to wedge them into taking down the government.

The other references housing costs, crime rates, centralized government and the impact of the carbon price on food costs.

The Conservatives can introduce either of those motions for debate on Thursday.

If any of the non-confidence motions were to pass, the government would be defeated and Canadians would very likely see an immediate election campaign.
