The Bloc Québécois is ready to wheel and deal with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government in exchange for support during confidence votes now that the Liberal government's confidence and supply agreement with the NDP has ended.
Bloc Québécois leader Yves-Francois Blanchet speaks to the media on Wednesday, July 31, 2024 in Montreal. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Ryan RemiorzThe Bloc Québécois is ready to wheel and deal with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government in exchange for support during confidence votes now that the Liberal government's confidence and supply agreement with the NDP has ended.
"Our objectives remain the same, but the means to get there will be much easier," Therrien said. "We will negotiate and seek gains for Quebec … our balance of power has improved, that's for sure." A Bloc strategist who was granted anonymity by The Canadian Press because he was not authorized to speak publicly stated bluntly that the NDP had officially handed the balance of power back to the Bloc. The Bloc is taking for granted that when a federal election is held in about a year or less, it will be a majority Conservative government led by Poilievre, whose party has surged in the polls for over a year and has been ahead in the rest of Canada for over a year.
It is not surprising that the Bloc sees excellent news in the tearing up of the agreement that allowed the Liberals to govern without listening to their demands, said University of Ottawa political scientist Geneviève Tellier.
