That's just Quebec's way of saying that the Liberals are not pandering to Quebec enough in their policies to warrent voting for them at this time. There's plenty of things the Liberals can do to buy their votes back. The usual 'create a new multi billion dollar government funded/regulated bureaucracy project that is headquatered in Montreal' should do the trick.
If I were living in Quebec I would be looking to this election in particular to try to extort things nationally. Once the 2011 census numbers get implemented and new seats in Ontario, Alberta and BC get added, their electoral importance slides yet again. Once the number of seats increase so that the Conservatives don't need a large number of Quebec seats to win a majority, then Quebec could find themselves stripped of the power to set the national agenda.
