At Issue | Can Trudeau afford to ignore the Bloc’s ultimatum?

At Issue this week: The Bloc Québécois threatens to push for an early election if the Liberals don’t top up seniors' benefits. The Conservatives boycott Bell Media for misrepresenting Pierre Polievre’s comments. And the Speaker of the House denies a debate about naming MPs implicated in the foreign interference report.
Clarification: In this week’s At Issue, a comparison of comments made by Pierre Poilievre versus those that aired on CTV was inverted. In his scrum with reporters, Poilievre actually said: "That's why it's time to put forward a motion ..." whereas CTV edited the clip to say: “That's why we need to put forward a motion.”
