Madam Speaker, it is always interesting to listen to my colleague. I would like to get back to the Bloc Québécois's ultimatum and the October 29 deadline. I have two questions.
My colleague appears to go further than his own leader with this ultimatum. His leader said he was prepared to negotiate if the government ignores the Bloc Québécois's demands. However, my colleague expressly said that if he did not get a response by October 29, he would begin discussions to trigger an election. That is my first question.
My second question is as follows: Why October 29? At the current rate of opposition days, there will be no more opposition days on October 29. It will be even more difficult for our three parties to trigger an election.
