On Nov. 12, the CAQ government delivered their economic update, with Finance Minister Eric Girard projecting Quebec’s deficit will grow to $15 billion for 2020-2021. This is the second update that Girard has given during the pandemic, and a key point is his government’s pledge to return to balanced budgets within five years.
Pontiac MNA André Fortin, who also serves as the Liberals’ finance critic, spoke with THE EQUITY on Nov. 17 about some of the main points of the government’s plan.
