In as many weeks, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has withstood two attempts in parliament to remove him from office.
The opposition Conservatives filed the motion with the intention of toppling his minority Liberal administration and calling a federal election.
The Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's repeated attempts to secure the support of other political parties in parliament failed, and the resolution was defeated.
The day following the defeat of his previous non-confidence resolution, Poilievre introduced this second one.

The Conservatives have been hammering the Liberals on the subjects of crime, cost of living, and affordable housing for months. This motion accused the government of failing Canadians on these fronts.
To pass, the vote required the support of 338 MPs, or members of parliament Following the counting of the votes, 207 people voted against the resolution and 121 in favour of it.
In a statement released after the result, Poilievre said that the Bloc Québécois is "letting down Quebecers" and that the NDP had "sold out working Canadians" for the party's loss.
The French-speaking province of Quebec is represented by the Bloc Québécois, who gave the Liberals an ultimatum if they wanted to retain their support.
The sovereigntist party set a deadline of October 29 for the government to enact two bills: one to raise pensions for the elderly and another to strengthen safeguards on Canada's supply management system, which regulates imports of poultry and dairy products and sets production quotas.
On Tuesday, it submitted its own motion calling on the Trudeau administration to support their bill for elderly.
In the meantime, Jagmeet Singh, the leader of the NDP, stated last week that his group would not back the Conservative motion.
In the upcoming weeks, a number of other non-confidence motions—including a third that has been proposed by the Conservatives—are anticipated to be brought out.
Nine years into his tenure as prime minister of Canada, Trudeau is under increasing pressure to step down due to worries that he is hurting the party's prospects.
Opinion polls have shown the Conservatives to be far ahead of the Liberals for several months.
This summer, his Liberal party suffered defeats in two significant by-elections in Toronto and Montreal, both of which were held in areas that the party had long controlled.
Trudeau has been kept in office by an agreement between the Liberal and NDP parties in charge since the 2021 federal election in Canada.
Singh withdrew from the agreement last month, claiming the Liberals are "too weak" to rule. As a result, the deal fell through.
