  • Higher-income earners will see their fiscal burden rise and new taxes will hit consumers of tobacco and alcohol.
  • Infrastructure spending has skyrocketed, but the government aims to control it more closely over the next few years.
  • Quebec’s gross public debt remains a pressing priority. As of next year, it is expected to hit almost 56 per cent of GDP.
