One year after Canadians sent the Liberals back to work governing with a reduced minority mandate, the government has survived a key confidence vote that had threatened to send Canadians back to the polls in the midst of a second wave of coronavirus pandemic.

The Liberals secured the backing of the NDP and the Greens in defeating a Conservative motion seeking to create a special committee tasked with probing the propriety of government spending.

David Akin looks at the Conservative motion that triggered the vote and how other political parties responded, while Mercedes Stephenson breaks down what happened on Parliament Hill.
