The Bloc Québécois says it will challenge the federal election results in the Quebec riding of Terrebonne, which the Liberals won by one vote following a judicial recount.

“We intend to undertake legal proceedings to ask the courts to order the rerun of the election in the riding of Terrebonne, and to do that as quickly as possible,” Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet told reporters in Parliament on May 15.
