Quebec Conservatives Unveil Election Platform Focused on 'Pro-Family' Policies
The plan calls for $47 billion in spending cuts over five years and large tax reductions after the deficit is eliminated, Duhaime said.
On Wednesday, the Quebec Conservative Party unveiled its election platform, promising tax cuts for families and businesses to increase Quebecers' wealth and expand health care services.
Leader Éric Duhaime announced last week he wants to cut government spending by $47 billion over five years, aiming to eliminate the deficit within four years.
The platform includes pledges to draft a Quebec constitution and establish a provincial national anthem, while offering residents the option to use health insurance cards for private care.
Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette criticized the platform, warning of austerity measures similar to 2015 protests, while the party proposed simplifying building codes instead of constructing new low-income housing units.
These measures aim to strengthen Quebec's autonomy within Canada, prioritizing market-driven solutions like rent subsidies over direct construction to manage housing and fiscal challenges ahead.
