The Bloc Québécois said the minority Liberal government needs to pass two of its private member’s bills before Oct. 29 to count on its support during confidence votes.

Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet has been saying for weeks he would seek to obtain gains from the Liberals after the NDP pulled out of its supply and confidence agreement in early September. The deal kept the minority Liberals in power in exchange for advancing NDP priorities.
