L’Action démocratique du Québec – Pour un Québec prospère et responsable

According to Mario Dumont, after 30 years of alternance between the Parti Québécois and the Liberals, Quebecers are tired of the same old complacent refrains and sterile debates. The solutions to our problems are close at hand. Public services have to be made more dynamic, and public interest must prevail over political pandering. Taxes need to be simplified and lightened. A debt repayment plan is required.

During this luncheon speech, Mario Dumont presented the basic principles that would guide an ADQ government. Mr. Dumont’s speech was followed by an exchange between him and a panel consisting of President Michel Kelly-Gagnon and research director Pierre Desrochers of the Montreal Economic Institute.
