Quebec election Day 3 brings promises on immigration, transit, taxes and home care

Party leaders are rolling out pledges on immigration, transit, taxes and seniors’ care as they seek to define their campaigns on day three.

  • On Saturday, Quebec party leaders fanned out across the province unveiling policy pledges on immigration, transit, taxes, and home care as the election campaign entered its third day.
  • Parti Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon pledged to reduce temporary immigrants from more than 500,000 to between 200,000 and 250,000, arguing current levels exceed the province's capacity for housing and services.
  • Critics quickly challenged the proposal, with Ruba Ghazal accusing the PQ leader of blaming immigrant children for infrastructure issues and Quebec Liberal Leader Charles Milliard warning of worsening labour shortages.
  • Elsewhere, Quebec Conservative Leader Éric Duhaime promised to suspend provincial fuel taxes to lower gasoline prices, while CAQ Leader Christine Fréchette pledged $1 billion over four years for home care services.
  • Ghazal pledged $23 billion over 10 years to repair and expand public transit infrastructure, positioning transit investment as a central platform differentiator among competing parties.
