If an election comes and his party loses. I'm pretty sure that's how it would happen.
AnswerThe Prime Minister can be dismissed by the Governor General at any time (though one will usually resign before this happens). Usually this will only happen when the Prime Minister loses the confidence of the House of Commons.
Normally, the Prime Minister can first ask for a general election instead of resigning, in order to try his chances at a fresh mandate. This request can, however, be refused if the Governor General feels that holding an election would be an abuse of Parliament or of the electorate, though this has only happened once. A Prime Minister will normally resign if he does not feel that a newly elected house will support him, rather than attempting to pass a budget.
A Prime Minister can also lose the support of his party, in which case, he will be replaced as leader of the party, and the new leader will be appointed as Prime Minister.
