Economy at the forefront on Day 6 of Quebec election campaign
The surging Quebec economy took centre stage on Day 6 of the provincial election campaign Tuesday as the leaders of the two front-running parties each staked claims to being the man who can maintain the momentum.
The Liberals’ Philippe Couillard lauded his government’s performance over the last few years while at the same time trying to portray Coalition Avenir Quebec Leader Francois Legault as an economic liability.
“We are the party of the economy and we have proven it,” Couillard said in Yamachiche in central Quebec.
“We have established one of the best economic and financial performances of recent history in Quebec. We have done this. I have done that.”
