| | Duceppe defends priest candidate in Repentigny byelection |
 | | The leader of the Bloc Québécois, Gilles Duceppe, said he has no problem with his Repentigny byelection candidate's intentions, if elected, to abstain from voting on issues that run contrary to the Catholic doctrine. |
 | | Duceppe, who was out campaigning in Repentigny Monday afternoon, said his MPs were allowed a free vote the last time gay marriage was discussed in the House of Commons, and he doesn't see any problems arising in the future. |
 | | Bloc MPs will be allowed to cast free votes on other moral issues as well, Duceppe said, adding that Gravel, as a priest and, potentially, a politician, is no different from longserving NDP MP Bill Blaikie, who is an ordained minister of the United Church of Canada. |
