Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet threatens to move toward an election as early as next week .

Most Liberals voted against a Bloc motion calling for the government to give a royal recommendation to a bill that would increase pensions for seniors under age 75 by 10 per cent.

Bloc, NDP and Conservatives all voted for the motion, but it carries only symbolic weight because it is non-binding.

Blanchet initially told the Liberals they had until Oct. 29 to support the bill or he would begin talks with other parties.
