OTTAWA — NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says New Democrats will bring forward a non-confidence motion to bring the government down in the next sitting of the House of Commons.

The House rose Tuesday for the Christmas break and won’t return until Jan. 27.

In a letter to Canadians, Singh says the NDP will vote to bring down the government regardless of who leads the Liberals.

The Conservatives and Bloc Québécois have both been calling on New Democrats to vote non-confidence in the government but the NDP have supported the Liberals on three confidence votes since September.

If such a vote passes, it would trigger an election.
