Candidates talk affordability on Day 4 of Quebec’s election campaign

During the fourth day of Quebec's election campaign, candidates focused on affordability and the economy. The Quebec Liberal Party and Quebec solidaire pledged to make housing more affordable, while the Conservatives advocated for tax cuts. The Coalition Avenir Québec unveiled its comprehensive fiscal plan. The Parti Québécois emphasized protecting the French language by advocating for stricter immigration policies.

With a significant budget deficit to eliminate, the next government will face financial constraints. Coalition Avenir Québec's leader, Christine Fréchette, announced a $205 annual subscription with a 10% discount, set to renew every 52 weeks. She called for the release of fiscal blueprints from other parties. Fréchette's party hopes to balance the budget with expected federal revenues but may face challenges.

Critics accused her of following a "bureaucratic model." Opposition parties criticized Fréchette for failing to address the housing crisis and promised to release their own fiscal plans.
