Quebec Premier François Legault speaks to reporters at the National Assembly on Thursday in Quebec City.
In a brief statement to reporters at the National Assembly on Thursday, Legault expressed his disagreement with the Bloc Québécois' decision to support Justin Trudeau's Liberal government in a non-confidence motion that is expected next week.Quebec's premier appears to want a federal election to take place sooner rather than later.
In his statement, Legault stopped short of directly asking Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet to vote against the Trudeau government in the non-confidence motion. Instead, he appeared to try to put pressure on Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon. Legault walked away without fielding any questions as reporters tried to get him to answer whether he felt Quebec would be in better hands with Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives in power.Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet, seen here during a caucus meeting on Wednesday in Ottawa, says his party still plans to support the Trudeau Liberals with its votes in a non-confidence motion.
