The call Monday afternoon follows an unprecedented agreement reached in the capital, which saw the Liberals and NDP form a coalition, with the support of the Bloc Quebecois guaranteed for at least 18 months, and offer themselves as a governing alternative to the Conservatives.

He said it is unacceptable and expressed concern about the effect such a move would have on local infrastructure projects his office has been working on.

In his release, Dykstra put forward three options, asking if they should:
