During the Quebec provincial election period, political candidates and community organizations have focused on the decentralization of services and the support of local community groups.

Initial campaign platforms emphasized the need to move away from centralized health administration. Candidates from Québec solidaire and Parti québécois advocated for strengthening local service points, such as CLSCs, and improving local governance to address service disruptions in rural and urban areas.

As the election progressed, community development corporations organized debates to highlight regional priorities. These discussions centered on financial inequities between regions, mental health, and food security. Community organizations specifically called for predictable, long-term funding, reduced bureaucracy, and the inclusion of community expertise in government decision-making processes.
