Quebec's finance minister is set to table a budget today with a focus on shoring up businesses and workers as U.S. tariff threats continue to sow economic turmoil.

Ian Sam Yue Chi, the president and CEO of the Corporation des concessionnaires d'automobiles, the province's auto dealers association, said that without the rebate, currently worth up to $7,000, some consumers won't be able to afford zero-emission electric vehicles. 

Quebec's finance minister says the budget he is expected to present later today will be "restrained" amid what he describes as a provincial economy in stagnation.

Quebec Finance Minister Eric Girard is scheduled to present the province's fall economic update this morning.

Quebec Finance Minister Eric Girard on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, kept his party’s election promise to cut income taxes, as he projected economic growth to drop dramatically in 2023.

Provinces peppering the public with cash to deal with soaring prices compounds inflation rather than easing it, economists say.

Quebec Premier François Legault introduced a new, expanded cabinet on Thursday, October 20, 2022, a mix of veteran ministers from his party's first mandate and several newly elected members, including the province's first Indigenous cabinet minister.

While inflation may be hurting ordinary Quebecers' pocketbooks, it's done the opposite for a provincial government that has seen its projected deficit shrink by billions of dollars, according to a report released on Monday, August 15, 2022, ahead of the fall election campaign.

Quebec’s spring budget includes a one-time payment of $500 to every adult earning $100,000 or less to help offset the impact of inflation, and the cash is scheduled to arrive a few months ahead of the provincial election.

Quebecers might need to be patient as they try to register in Loto-Québec draws intended for those who have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Quebec Premier Francois Legault promised to bring renewal and change to the province's politics on Thursday, October 18, 2018, after his convincing election victory ended nearly 50 years of Liberal and Parti Quebecois rule.
