    The Parti Québécois (PQ) is poised to win the upcoming provincial election on Oct. 5

    Over the past year, the PQ has been publishing chapters of its “Blue Book,” a formal plan for how an independent Quebec would function.

    However, Chapter 22, “Relations with First Nations and Inuit,” is currently a blank page with the promise that the chapter would be published “sometime in the summer of 2026.”
