- Healthy household consumption levels helped to lift growth in the Quebec economy to 1.6 per cent in 2016.
- Thanks mainly to spending restraint, the government will remain balanced in fiscal 2016–17 and will continue to make its promised payments to the Generations Fund (which is used to pay down the provincial debt) for the second consecutive year.
