MONTREAL (Reuters) – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday acknowledged he will need to work with other parties after he fell short of winning a majority in parliamentary elections, leaving him once more dependent on opposition legislators to govern.<\/p>

Trudeau, 49, was re-elected to a third term on Monday after calling a vote two years early, hoping for approval of his free-spending response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2019 he had been working with a minority, forced to make deals with other parties to push through legislation.<\/p>\n

But provisional results showed virtually no change from the 2019 election, delivering up another minority and begging the question of why Trudeau had called a vote that the official opposition Conservative Party portrayed as a cynical power grab.<\/p>\n

Trudeau, in power since 2015, said he had a clear mandate to continue the path to recovery while conceding Canadians did not want to be thinking about politics or elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou just want to know that your members of parliament of all stripes will have your back through this crisis and beyond,\u201d he told supporters in Montreal. \u201cYou have given this Parliament and this government clear directions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The result suggests there will be little change in approach from the Liberals, who racked up record levels of debt and massive budget deficits fighting COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Trudeau, who promised tens of billions of dollars in new investments here during the campaign, will once again rely on the support of the smaller left-leaning New Democrats, who want even more social spending. here<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re getting more of the same as what we had before. I don\u2019t think markets are going to react either way,\u201d said Martin Pelletier, senior portfolio manager at Trivest Wealth Counsel.<\/p>\n

The Canadian dollar [CAD=] was trading slightly higher at 1.2766 to the greenback, or 78.33 U.S. cents, in Asian trading on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Provisional results showed the Liberals ahead in 155 constituencies, short of the 170 Trudeau needed to control the 338-seat House of Commons. The Conservatives were on 122 with the New Democrats on 26.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe message Canadians are sending loud and clear is they like the direction the government is taking the country in but they\u2019re not quite sure they want to give anybody carte blanche,\u201d former close Trudeau advisor Gerry Butts told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.<\/p>\n

Around 800,000 mail-in ballots will be counted on Tuesday, which could affect the final tally in some seats.<\/p>\n

The result is a blow to the right-leaning Conservatives, whose leader Erin O’Toole had tried to take a more centrist approach here to attract progressive voters.<\/p>\n

For the second election in a row the party won a larger share of the popular vote than the Liberals, who nevertheless triumphed with their lock on major urban centers.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Toole, who said he was sure Trudeau plans to call another election within two years, said he had called the Liberal leader and challenged him to put the unity of Canada first.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told him if he thinks he can threaten Canadians with another election in 18 months, the Conservative Party will be ready,\u201d he told supporters in his home town of Oshawa, east of Toronto.<\/p>\n
