The preparation of the forthcoming Québec budget is under way. Once again, this year, this complex exercise is posing numerous challenges, especially because of the economic situation surrounding the incoming US administration.
We will first ensure that we are properly positioned to take advantage of the ongoing economic recovery. We will pursue our efforts to bolster Québec’s economic potential and to further reduce the wealth gap between Québec and Ontario.
As promised, we will present along with the budget our plan to achieve a balanced budget by 2029-2030 after deposits of dedicated revenues in the Generations Fund. We will also continue to act to satisfy Quebecers’ priorities.
It is in this context that I will meet in the coming weeks with numerous stakeholders in Québec society and I invite Quebecers to participate in the online pre-budgetary consultations to share with us their priorities for the coming year.
Eric Girard
Minister of Finance and Minister Responsible for Relations with English-Speaking Quebecers
