Bloc leader Yves-François Blanchet on Wednesday imposed on Justin Trudeau’s Liberals to adopt the bills on supply management and old age pension before October 29.
Otherwise, the Bloc says it is ready to discuss with the opposition parties a motion of censure which could trigger federal elections.
“If the Bloc Québécois had issued an ultimatum on the basis of immigration, […] the NDP could very easily have voted with the Liberals,” explained Mr. Blanchet about his party’s choice.
“Taking immigration is an assurance of failure, but guaranteed the continuation of the Trudeau government until 2025. It was the completely opposite effect of what everyone pretends to want,” he underlined. in an interview with LCN, Thursday.

“The NDP has no reason not to agree with us, these are progressive measures that increase the purchasing power of seniors,” he said.
