A majority in his line of sight, Andrew Scheer is a soft eye in Quebec | Elections Canada 2019

While in Quebec City on Tuesday, Andrew Scheer continued to demonize the scenario of a Liberal-NDP coalition that he said would lead to tax increases, taxes and deficits. When reporters pointed out to him that none of the other parties are willing to work with a minority Conservative government, Mr. Scheer said he would get a majority.

He did not want to speculate on the possibility of forming a minority government.

It is up to the analysts to speculate. My role, my responsibility is to win a majority government on October 21 and I will do it.

The Conservative leader also tried to highlight all the positive responses he offers to the government of Francois Legault. He preferred to pass under the carpet the objection of the Caquist government to an "energy corridor" that would see pipelines cross Quebec.

Third link, single tax return and managed by Quebec, all that and much more, the Conservatives can offer in Quebec City, he said.

If Quebeckers want to have a government with MPs around the decision table, it is the Conservative Party that can represent Quebeckers and their interestsinsisted Mr. Scheer.

He once again introduced the Bloc Quebecois as a false friend of the Legault government. According to Mr. Scheer, Yves-Francois Blanchet only wants to work with the PQ in Quebec for another referendum on sovereignty. He reiterated that Mr. Legault does not need Mr. Blanchet in Ottawa; the Conservatives will deliver the goods demanded by the Quebec government, he promised.

Mr. Scheer continued his tour of promises to present an overview of the first 100 days of a Conservative government.

He announced that he would convene a conference of provincial and territorial premiers on January 6, 2020 to remove the barriers to interprovincial free trade.

He had to spend the day in Quebec with a stop in Trois-Rivieres before heading to Monteregie. He will deliver a speech on Tuesday evening in La Prairie on his vision for the Quebec nation.

Drop in the polls

The rise of the Bloc Quebecois in the polls visibly irritates the outgoing Conservative MPs, who hoped to find it easier to swell the ranks of their Quebec deputations.

Pierre Paul-Hus, who represents himself in Charlesbourg-Haute-Saint-Charles, intends to hammer a message calling to vote for a party that aspires to power in the next week.

It is always easy for the Bloc […] to have an election platform, when they know they will never be able to deliver. So, the most frustrating, maybe that's it. On the one hand, you have a party that promises things it can never do. We, on our side, make sure that people understand that if they want to have achievements, [we must] vote for people who may be in governmentexplained Paul-Hus.

Her colleague Sylvie Boucher, from the neighboring riding of Beauport-Côte-de-Beaupre-Île d'Orleans-Charlevoix, admits to having been surprised by the more favorable polls towards the Bloc.

No, we might not have planned that, but I'm not worried. The Bloc can never do anything in Ottawa, did she say. For my part, what I find is that it is wasting time, because it is in Quebec City that it will make sovereignty, not on the benches of Ottawa.
