Bloc Québécois motion passes without Liberal support, party had given Liberals until Oct. 29
Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet is upping the ante for the Liberals, threatening to move toward an election as early as next week if the government doesn’t back a plan to increase old age security payments.
“So they have until a few days from now to go on with the royal recommendation, and if they do not, we will start as rapidly as next week to speak with other opposition to go into an election,” he said. The Liberals increased the pension by 10 per cent for seniors over 75 in 2022 and the other opposition parties have backed the Bloc push to expand that to seniors younger than that as well.
The Conservatives have already used two of their opposition days to introduce non-confidence motions in the House in the last two weeks. The Liberals survived both with the votes of the Bloc and the NDP.
