French debate moved to 6 p.m. to avoid overlap with Habs game
Turns out we have some quick news to share before we go.
Just now, the Leaders’ Debates Commission has decided to move the time of the French-language debate tomorrow to 6 p.m. ET.
The debate was scheduled for 8 p.m., but NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet requested it be moved due to a scheduling conflict with a Montreal Canadiens hockey game with potential playoffs implications.
Radio-Canada’s head of public relations, Marie Tétreault, said in a statement that the change will ensure viewers won’t miss “this crucial moment of the election campaign” while also catching a “decisive moment of the hockey match,” which is expected to end around 10 p.m.
