Quebec election: Parties unveil social and infrastructure promises
As the Quebec provincial election campaign enters its second week, political parties are unveiling diverse platform promises focusing on social services, infrastructure, and economic support.
The Quebec Liberal Party (PLQ) has pledged $60 million annually to combat homelessness, aiming for a $240 million investment over four years. The Parti Québécois (PQ) is focusing on food security with a proposed $100 million investment to support food banks and school nutrition programs. Meanwhile, the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) has announced $650 million for sports and recreational infrastructure, including school gymnasiums.
Political tensions have risen as the PQ leader, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, accused the federal government of interfering in the election to benefit the CAQ. In response, CAQ leader Christine Fréchette denied these claims, stating that federal partnerships are beneficial for Quebec. Additionally, the Conservative Party of Quebec (PCQ) has proposed a $100 weekly allowance per child for families providing home-based childcare, a move the CAQ has criticized.
