The Bloc Québécois has said that if the Liberals want to count on its support for confidence votes, the government needs to pass two pieces of legislation by Oct. 29. The two bills are Bill C-319, which seeks to amend the Old Age Security Act, and Bill C-282, which pertains to supply management.

Between the two bills, both private member’s bills, the party had previously been more vocal about Bill C-319.
