Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet will have the support of his entire caucus when he addresses allegations of sexual misconduct that were posted on social media last Tuesday. Blanchet issued a statement last week denying the allegations and inviting the person who made them to file a complaint with the authorities. Ahead of a Sunday news conference where Blanchet is addressing the matter, all members of the Bloc caucus released a statement backing their leader. The statement, signed by 31 MPs, says the caucus is convinced the allegations are false and that Blanchet has their full support. The leader previously said he planned to continue his professional activities and that he would not provide any further comments.
