PQ's Federal Transfer Plan Sparks Criticism in Economy Debate

The Parti Québécois (PQ) was criticized for relying on federal transfers in its fiscal plan during an economy debate on Radio-Canada.

Candidates from Quebec's five main parties participated in the discussion, with PQ candidate Alain Therrien defending his party's plan to increase federal transfers to fund electoral promises.

However, his opponents questioned how the PQ would fund its economy if a promised sovereignty referendum was successful. The debate focused on issues such as American tariffs, the cost of living, energy, and public finances.
