Bloc MPs to gather near Ottawa with U.S. tariffs, Quebec election in focus
The caucus will focus on U.S. tariffs, supply management and Quebec’s election campaign as it prepares for Parliament’s return.
Bloc Quebecois MPs gather in Cantley, Quebec, less than 20 kilometres from Parliament Hill to prepare for Parliament's return on Monday.
Canada walked away from United States trade negotiations in August without reaching an agreement, escalating concerns about tariffs and economic impact.
The party enters the session following an unsuccessful Aug. 31 byelection in Chicoutimi-Le Fjord, and Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay has left to campaign for the Parti Quebecois in the Oct. 5 provincial election.
Throughout the summer, the Bloc urged the government to provide increased support for businesses hit by United States tariffs amid escalating economic concerns.
Bloc MPs will monitor Quebec's provincial election campaign closely as it enters its final weeks, with both the Bloc and Parti Quebecois advocating for Quebec independence.
