What is vote of confidence?

Answer 1

A confidence motion in Canada is one where members of the House of Commons are asked to vote on the Speech from the Throne, a tax bill, or spending bill. The government can also declare that a specific bill is a confidence motion. Failure of the majority of Members of Parliament to support the bill would result in the collapse of parliament and thus trigger an election. The opposition can also put forward a motion during opposition days to ask for a vote on the condidence of Government.

In Canada a vote of non-confidence is voteing to decide if the majority of members in the House of Commons still have confidence in the Canadian government's ability to lead the country.
