The first measure in each session of parliament is the speech from the throne, which is delivered by the GG (at the instructions of the PM).
The house then votes to approve or disapprove of it. It is automatically a measure of confidence.
This happens before any budget votes.
The opposition has proposed to take over. They made the plan. Harper engaged in procedural tricks to delay it -- so... I could see them voting non-confidence and doing it before the budget gets put forward.
