Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has written to the leader of the New Democrats, urging him to force an election this fall.
Poilievre's letter to Jagmeet Singh says the NDP does not have a mandate from voters to keep Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in power for another year.
He's urging Singh to vote non-confidence in the government when the House of Commons resumes in September.
The NDP entered a supply and confidence deal with the Liberals in 2022, agreeing to keep the minority government in power until 2025 in exchange for movement on key priorities.
Singh has highlighted social programs like the federal dental care, pharmacare and school lunch programs among the things his party has been able to achieve because of the deal.
Poilievre is set to hold a news conference in Ottawa later this morning.
