I approve
For a greener, more equitable and equal Québec
For the last twenty years, government policy has been gradually eroding Quebec’s social model. The last provincial budget accentuated this process. After reducing its own resources through tax cuts, the government is now slashing public services even as it moves to increase taxes and unjust user fees.
· I denounce these choices which mark a step back for our economic, cultural and social rights, in the fight against poverty and the pursuit of equality between men and women;
· I demand access to universal quality public services;
· Recognising that there exists public financing alternatives, I demand a more progressive tax system, a larger contribution through corporate taxation, higher natural resource royalty payments, and a stronger fight against tax fraud and loopholes
Alongside the coalition against user fees and the privatisation of public services, I demand that the government work for a more equal, equitable and green Québec by protecting the common good, reducing inequality and assuring a better redistribution of wealth.
