CANADA: Bloc Quebecois Sets Oct 29 Deadline For Its Demands To Trudeau
CANADA
- Canadian opposition party Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet says he wants two of his party's bills passed by Oct 29.
- Blanchet says after that he could vote non-confidence in Justin Trudeau's Liberal minority government, and his deadline gives enough time for an election campaign before Christmas holidays if it comes to that.
- Bloc's wishes include a boost to seniors' benefits and agricultural protections known as supply management.
- Bloc has said it will vote against a Conservative non-confidence motion later today, helping keep Trudeau in power for now.
