The Bloc Must Sign The Letter To Recall Committee To Stop Trudeau’s Federal Decree With Devastating Consequences For Quebec’s Regions

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ottawa, ON – After nine years of the Bloc-Liberal coalition, Justin Trudeau is now poised to impose an emergency federal decree against the will of the Quebec Government to ban logging operations, which will eliminate thousands of jobs in Quebec’s regions.

For weeks, Common Sense Conservatives have been calling for an emergency meeting in a House of Commons Committee to shed light on Justin Trudeau’s latest intrusion into Quebec’s jurisdiction. Yet the Bloc continues to refuse to sign a letter that would recall the Committee, blocking and delaying Conservative efforts to hear from the forest industry on this crucial issue.

By refusing to sign this letter, Blanchet is complicit with Trudeau’s radical environment minister, who wants to impose a federal directive that will eliminate jobs in Quebec. Clearly, the lazy Bloc MPs would rather stay on vacation than come back to work and protect thousands of well-paying jobs in Quebec’s regions.

This should come as no surprise to Quebecers. In fact, Blanchet voted 182 times to keep Justin Trudeau in power, allowing him to interfere with Quebec’s jurisdictions and economy with increasing frequency.

If the Bloc once again chooses to stay on vacation and protect Justin Trudeau, Canadians won’t be able to hear Justin Trudeau’s radical environment minister testify about the number of jobs his federal decree will eliminate, or see the Liberal government’s economic analysis of this policy.

Once again, the Bloc is demonstrating that it cares more about keeping Justin Trudeau in power than protecting Quebec jobs. Every day the Bloc spends refusing to sign on to our emergency meeting to recall the Committee is another day closer to the imposition of Steven Guilbeault’s directive, which will cost thousands of jobs in Quebec’s regions. Only Common-Sense Conservatives will reject Justin Trudeau’s job-destroying directive and its intrusion into Quebec’s jurisdiction.
