What is the "normal time" for an election? Elections don't have a set regularity, as long as they happen at least every 5 years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_of_no_confidence#Canada
> At the federal level, a vote of no confidence is a motion presented by a member of the House of Commons that explicitly states the House has no confidence in the incumbent government.[3] The government may also declare any bill or motion to be a question of confidence.
Major bills like budgets are automatically confidence votes as well. I think you need to get into the parliamentary minutiae to understand when other votes could cause an election.
