Budget 2024‑2025 is an opportunity for the government to focus its actions on the priorities of Quebecers. We are announcing significant investments to provide Quebecers with quality public services, primarily in health and education.
In addition, we are investing the necessary funds to support citizens and communities, particularly seniors and retirees, and we are pursuing our efforts in sustainable development. We are also working to ensure the growth of our economy by focusing on our strategic sectors and the vitality of our regions.
In the current economic context, we are making the responsible and necessary choices. We are maintaining our objective of returning to a balanced budget and we will do so gradually, by 2029‑2030 at the latest, while continuing to make deposits in the Generations Fund.
This budget is about continuing our work to optimize Québec’s economic and human potential. Together, we continue to give ourselves the means to fulfill our ambitions.
Eric Girard
Minister of Finance and Minister Responsible for Relations with English-Speaking Quebecers
