OTTAWA — The Trudeau government lives to see another day — for now.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s first non-confidence motion of the fall session was defeated by 120 to 211 votes on Wednesday after the Bloc Québécois, the NDP and the Greens voted against it, ensuring that the Liberal minority in the House continues to govern.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Poilievre got hearty cheers from their caucuses when they rose, respectively, to vote against and in favour of the motion.
