The Bloc Québécois, the sovereigntist federal party, is dealing with a major crisis as seven of its ten MPs quit the caucus. According to the dissenting members, leader Martine Ouellet’s personality is to blame. Pierre Donais talks to Gabriel Ste-Marie and Monique Pauzé, two of the MPs who will now sit as part of the newly-formed Groupe parlementaire québécois. MP Mario Beaulieu stands behind Ouellet. He explains the vision for the sovereigntist party in Ottawa. For his part, former leader Gilles Duceppe maintains that, without the support of her MPs, Ouellet should step down. A day after Morneau tabled his third budget in the House of Commons, MPs Steven MacKinnon (Liberal), Jacques Gourde (Conservative) and Brigitte Sansoucy (NDP) breakdown the Liberal government’s plan.
