Of course. Because the Bloc just agreed to support the liberals out of the goodness of their hearts and the love of Canada.

They had to be promised something, and it had to be something big, to agree. And if at any point the liberals try to do something they don't like, they can get it changed by threatning to topple the coalition. The only reason they aren't getting cabinet posts is because if they were officially in the coalition, the GG would be much more likely to say no.
