Quebec’s party leaders spread out around the province on Labour Day

Sep 4, 2022 | 8:18 PM

MONTREAL — Quebec’s main party leaders are spreading out around the province this Labour Day, after a Sunday spent campaigning in the Greater Montreal Area.

Liberal Leader Dominique Anglade is heading east to Trois-Rivières, one day after her party unveiled its costed platform.

Anglade on Sunday revealed a plan that includes $41 billion in spending over the next five years, funded in part by new taxes on the wealthy, on vacant buildings and on web giants.

Her party plans to run annual deficits averaging $5 billion, which Anglade said is necessary to help Quebecers cope with inflation and the rising cost of living.

Coalition Avenir Québec Leader François Legault is heading west to Gatineau, where he’ll visit ridings held by both his own party and the rival Liberals.
