On December 3, 2018, Quebec's Minister of Finance Eric
Girard, under the newly elected Coalition Avenir Quebec government,
provided a fall economic update geared at putting money back in the
pockets of Quebec families and seniors, as well as harmonizing
recent federal measures aimed at encouraging acceleration of
business investment, (through increased capital cost allowance
rates) and continuing efforts to fight climate change.
"Today, we are starting to deliver on our promises to
families and seniors. My government is not going to disregard
Quebecers' financial means. The new government is going to
strike a balance between services and Quebecers' financial
means, particularly those of families and seniors. This economic
update contains measures to spur business investment and create
well-paid jobs, but our first steps, our first financial decisions,
are aimed at helping families and seniors."
