October 2, 2019

Yves-François Blanchet claims that the best way for Quebec the have a strong voice in the federation is by voting for Bloc candidates. But Quebecers know that with a seat at the table, they can accomplish more than by being on the sidelines. Our record shows that under a strong liberal government, major accomplishments have been secured by having a seat at the table.

Over the last four years, our team has successfully negotiated more money for Quebec in homecare and mental health, more funding for post-secondary education, an unprecedented 10-year agreement on infrastructure, an agreement to implement a national strategy to end homelessness and much more.

By having a seat at the table, Quebecers can be confident their priorities will be heard loud and clear and that will translate into tangible progress for people.
