Quebec's governing Coalition Avenir Québec party says it is willing to make a constitutionally required oath to the King optional for members of the legislature.

CAQ house leader Simon Jolin-Barrette says the government is ready to move quickly and introduce a bill that would allow members to sit without swearing an oath of office to King Charles III.
