All parties are adjusting their fall plans after NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh ended the agreement that would have kept Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government in power.
Poilievre has promised to table a motion of no confidence at the first opportunity, and that could happen as early as Monday.
