  • Well they pretty much don’t have a choice. The previous government was minority and in coalition with the NDP and help from the bloc.

    Grossly put, Îin the Canadian parliamentary system anyone can introduce bills, even the opposition. It is up to the house to vote and decide if it moves forward.

    So if the liberals want to advance their agendas their bills need to pass a vote in the chamber. Therefore they need the votes of the bloc.

    Another thing to note is that in Canada the party line is stronger than in the US congress meaning most MPs are expected to follow and vote along what is presented by the party.
