  "account": "On the fourth day of Quebec's election campaign, party leaders focused on affordability and economic concerns. The Liberal Party and Québec solidaire pledged to make housing more affordable, while the Conservatives promised tax cuts. The Coalition Avenir Québec unveiled its full fiscal plan and urged other parties to release their fiscal blueprints. The Parti Québécois emphasized protecting the French language by proposing stricter immigration policies, while the PQ leader accused the CAQ of undermining immigration control. Housing affordability was a major focus, with the Liberals proposing to cap rents and service fees for seniors' homes and the PQ criticizing the Conservatives for claiming the housing crisis was \"solved.\" The Conservatives promised to abolish the sales tax on used goods and reduce government spending, while the PQ aimed to lower immigration quotas and prioritize French-speaking immigrants.",
