ST-HYACINTHE – Prime Minister Stephen Harper has the choice, cash for Quebec or an election, Bloc Québécois leader Gilles Duceppe said Sunday.
“I am now challenging Stephen Harper to respond to Quebec’s expectations,” Duceppe Duceppe said in a speech Sunday closing a party general council meeting attended by 700 Bloc members. “We are asking for simple fairness, elementary justice."
And Duceppe said if Harper does not respond to Quebec’s expectations, Quebecers will understand he has written the province off.
“Quebecers will remember in the next election,” Duceppe said. “Mr. Harper has a choice. He can respond to Quebec’s expectations or he can spark elections.
“On our side, we will not fold. We are going to stand up for Quebec.
My dear friends, prepare yourselves for a rough battle.”
