US EditionIndependent Quebec would adopt its own currency, PQ leader says
The Parti Québécois plans a new currency for an independent Quebec, aiming for its own monetary policy and central bank, with a transition from the Canadian dollar possibly taking 10 years.
- On Saturday, PQ leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon announced at the Parti Québécois National Council meeting in Sherbrooke that an independent Quebec would have its own currency, transitioning from the Canadian dollar over up to 10 years as part of the Blue Book rollout.
- Last week, the PQ began unveiling the Blue Book with its international-relations chapter, and Paul St-Pierre Plamondon said, `We have the right, but above all, we have the duty to build a different Quebec than the Quebec of decline`.
- Latest data indicate the Léger poll shows the PQ at 32, with the Liberals at 27, and the PQ leading among Francophones, according to Qc125 poll aggregator.
- The Liberals immediately condemned the plan, and Frédéric Beauchemin urged the PQ to stop `talking nonsense`, while federalist critics warned of economic instability and declining purchasing power.
- The PQ proposed creating an independent commission after independence to advise on currency and Paul St-Pierre Plamondon said he would respect its decision while noting alternatives: Canadian dollar and US currency.
