The caucus member ejection provisions were first used when the Conservative caucus voted to eject Derek Sloan on January 20, 2021.[9][10][11]
In February 2022, the leadership removal provisions were invoked for the first time by the Conservative caucus following the 2021 election, which used it to trigger a leadership review against, and remove, Erin O’Toole. During the review, 45 MPs voted to retain him against 73 who voted for his removal.[12] Deputy Leader Candice Bergen was selected as interim leader.[13][14] O’Toole’s removal marked the first time since the Reform Act was passed into law seven years prior, that a party caucus formally challenged and dismissed its leader.[15]
But what relevance is this? I’m not sure that removing the PM from party leadership will help or change anything. If you want to do something meaningful, there needs to be a nonconfidence vote.
The next paragraph after the screenshot is also important:
At the first sitting of the House after an election, the members of each recognized party vote on whether any or all of the sets should apply to their caucuses. The provisions only applying to the caucuses that approve them was another compromise to ensure passage of the Act. The approval of the provisions by the caucuses is binding until Parliament dissolves, after which another vote is held.
The Liberals did not vote to approve the provisions, so this can’t be used to remove Trudeau.
