OTTAWA—A pair of proposed changes to the federal budget put forward by opposition parties will determine whether the minority Liberal government will fall, which could trigger an election.

The government says it has informed opposition parties that two votes in the House of Commons—on a Bloc Quebecois sub-amendment today and on a Conservative amendment Thursday—are considered confidence votes.
