Bloc acting like a Federal Party
This article was recently published in the Montreal Gazette and, according to the Liberals, the bill could threaten English Quebecers' rights to be heard in English in the criminal courts. The NDP and the Conservatives see nothing wrong with it, but both the Bloc and the Liberals object. Could the Bloc be behaving federally? Certainly it does not seem likely that they would oppose English being heard in French in Quebec criminal cases, so they must be responding to the mirror problem of French speakers losing access to French in criminal courts outside Quebec -- outside of a jurisdiction that they say they exist to renounce.
