Good evening, and welcome to Global’s live coverage of the French-language leaders’ debate. Our team of political reporters will be tweeting throughout the event, which is being held at Radio-Canada’s studios in Montreal. You can also follow along with our live video-stream, above. -
The debate will be divided into five major sections, including a section on the economy, a section on the environment and a section on “Canada in the world.”
The moderator tonight is veteran Radio-Canada anchor Anne-Marie Dussault. She will not be asking questions, only keeping everyone in line and on track. The questions will be posed by Patrice Roy, a Radio-Canada anchor, and Yves Boisvert, a journalist from La Presse. -

One thing we can count on is Gilles Duceppe throwing himself into this like a man w nothing to lose. I, for one, am excited. #debatdeschefsby Monique Muise via twitter 9/24/2015 11:54:07 PM

Rad-Can is leading into this debate direct from the satirical (and hysterical) @infomantv , which I find so wonderful. #debatdeschefsby Monique Muise via twitter 9/24/2015 11:57:18 PM

He just said the f-word, dressed as Harper, about 7 times. Vive le Québec! #debatdeschefs http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CPtPuHfVEAEg81i.jpg

This is the only debate that will feature all five of the federal party leaders. No Rhino Party rep, sadly. #debatdeschefsby Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:01:39 AM

Again: questions will be posed by Patrice Roy, a Radio-Canada anchor, and Yves Boisvert, a journalist from La Presse. #debatdeschefsby Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:01:54 AM

Dussault starts with some housekeeping. Basically, behave yourselves. First topic: government in service of Canadians. #debatdeschefsby Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:03:08 AM

We're starting with healthcare. Mulcair is asked how he plans to increase number of doctors when this isn't federal matter. #debatdeschefsby Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:04:32 AM

-
Somehow Mulcair got immigrants and Rad-Can cuts into this answer. Bit of a dog's breakfast. I think he said he'll work with provinces?by Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:05:11 AM
-
May actually tackles the topic at hand, How are you going to handle buying drugs in bulk, Tom? And Trudeau veers into...infrastructure?by Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:07:03 AM
-
Guys, answer the question or at least stick to the general topic. It's super easy. I promise. #debatdeschefsby Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:07:33 AM

So far, this is a much more civil spectacle than the Globe's yell-fest. #debatdeschefsby Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:08:21 AM

Trudeau, who seems to have realized we are talking healthcare, says he'll work with provinces to confront issues like aging population.by Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:09:45 AM

-
Trudeau asking Harper if he is behind medical assisted dying. Harper: that's up to the provinces.by Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:13:09 AM
-
AND, as for the Supreme Court's decision is being respected. We've got a committee in place. #debatdeschefsby Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:13:39 AM
-
That committee better work fast. The deadline set by the SCOC decision is Feb. We'll need a law by then, Duceppe points out. #debatdeschefsby Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:15:01 AM
-
This is actually a very tough topic, they are all handling it pretty well. But I think most would agree we can't have a legislative vaccuum.by Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:15:55 AM
-
Mulcair goes after Trudeau for lack of LPC fiscal outline. May points out that we have veered wildly off topic. (yelling) ("middle class!")by Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:17:01 AM

Next question: NIQAB!by Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:19:05 AM

-
Niqabs at 18:45 in! Who had 18:45? #debatdeschefsby Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:19:45 AM
-
Ok, question for Trudeau about niqab. Harper and Duceppe want to play on fear and divisive issues, Trudeau says. State should not impose.by Laura Stone via twitter 9/25/2015 12:20:18 AM
-
Duceppe says it's a question about equality of men and women.by Laura Stone via twitter 9/25/2015 12:20:44 AM
-
Trudeau: We cannot tell people what they should wear. Duceppe: This is about equality. Vast majority of Quebecers are behind that notion.by Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:21:02 AM

Here’s the Bloc’s most recent ad, entitled “pipelines full of niqabs” (ok, not really. But come ON): youtube.com/watch?v=lVE-N-… #debatdeschefsby Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:21:23 AM

Trudeau tries to steer conversation to economic progress, investing in families.by Laura Stone via twitter 9/25/2015 12:22:01 AM
-
Trudeau: You're trying to distract from the real issues here. Mulcair: Yeah! What Justin said! And Harper's doing it too! #debatdeschefsby Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:22:15 AM
-
Mulcair: Harper hides behind the divisive issue. Rule provides woman should unveil herself at some point in process.by Laura Stone via twitter 9/25/2015 12:22:36 AM
-
Mulcair seemed to be attempting to defuse the niqab issue yesterday ahead of this debate: cbc.ca/news/politics/… #debatdeschefsby Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:23:01 AM

Harper: Never will I say to my daughter a woman has to cover her face because she's a woman. It's unacceptable.by Laura Stone via twitter 9/25/2015 12:23:27 AM
-
Mulcair: Depriving women of their rights isn't going to help win them equality. #debatdeschefsby Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:23:34 AM
-
Mulcair retorts that the answer isn't depriving a woman of her citizenshipby Laura Stone via twitter 9/25/2015 12:24:11 AM
-
Holy Hell. Dussault finally grabs everyone by the scruff and gives them a shake. #debatdeschefsby Monique Muise via twitter 9/25/2015 12:24:37 AM

May: this has created a false debate. What is impact of niqab on economy, climate change or unemployment.by Laura Stone via twitter 9/25/2015 12:24:42 AM

Mulcair is visibly angry. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CPtVqSeUkAAni9T.jpg
