Conservative leader Erin O’Toole is revealing a contract he proposed for Quebec.
O’Toole is pledging within the first one hundred days of becoming Prime Minister several actions that hand more powers to Quebec.
It includes increasing powers over immigration, addressing labour shortages and respecting Quebec’s right to pass its own laws to protect its language and culture.
“After six years of Justin Trudeau’s overbearing and muddling-through style of government from Ottawa, Quebec needs a change,” said O’Toole. “We will work together to beat him. Quebecers deserve a federal government that listens to them and respects them. This is more than a promise. It’s a plan.”
Other components of the contract include;
* Working with Quebec to apply Bill 101 to federally regulated businesses.
* Negotiating the establishment of a single tax return for Quebec and maintaining the federal tax centres in Jonquière and Shawinigan.
* Ensuring predictable, stable, and unconditional federal health transfers.
* Ensuring integrity and fighting Liberal corruption.
* Not raising taxes and income taxes.
“I dream of a Canada where the French language is well-protected, where Quebecers are heard, and where Quebec has all the tools to ensure its prosperity,” concluded O’Toole.
