"I do not need to work with the Bloc," says Andrew Scheer | Elections Canada 2019

At a time when a minority government scenario is on the horizon, Andrew Scheer is asking Canadians to give him a majority government instead of voting for a coalition between Justin Trudeau's Liberals and Jagmeet Singh's New Democrats.

If Jagmeet Singh said the day before that he would be willing to work with "anyone" to defeat the Conservatives, Justin Trudeau on Monday tried to convince voters to support the Liberal Party rather than the New Democratic Party to thwart the advance of Andrew Scheer's troops.

The choice Canadians have to make is crystal clearrepeated the Conservative leader at a news briefing in Winnipeg. And a minority Conservative government is not among the options, he said.

Nor the idea of ​​cooperating with the Bloc Quebecois, he said.

We will not participate in any negotiations with the Bloc. I do not need to work with the Bloc Quebecois to give results to Quebeckers […] I can work with Francois Legault.

Work directly with the Premier of Quebec on the issues that will enable us to make life easier for Quebeckers is a "priority", he added.

Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-Francois Blanchet made it clear that he did not intend to participate in a coalition government. Promoting piecemeal negotiations, the Bloc will support bills that are good for Quebec and will oppose those that are bad for the province, Mr. Blanchet summed up on Sunday.

If he did not hide his desire to see Quebec become independent since the beginning of the campaign, Mr. Blanchet has more than once said he would carry the voice of the National Assembly in Ottawa, and not necessarily that of the Caquist government of Francois Legault.

To ensure greater representation of Quebec in the federation, the Quebec premier announced in September the reopening of a Quebec office in Ottawa, which had closed in 2015.

When he presented his requests to the federal party leaders at the beginning of the campaign, Francois Legault indicated that he intended to expand the mandate of the office, which would have to liaise with the federal government and keep Quebec informed of the decisions taken. Ottawa.
