“I belong to a generation that had so many choices available. In 1970, when [former premier Robert] Bourassa launched the James Bay development project, nobody in Quebec asked whether we had the means to do it. Today could we launch another James Bay?

And for that, they'll need financial manoeuvring room.” NeedsMeanTodayYoungChoicesRoomsRichImagineGenerationsDevelopmentProjectsFinancialAvailableDebtDebateFormerQuebec Author:Philippe Couillard
“Quebec's financial situation is serious. In terms of intensity, we're close to matching 1982 and 1997. We won't do the same things this time, but the problems we face today are about as pressing.” ProblemTodayFacesTermSituationSeriousFinancialIntensityMatchingQuebec Author:Philippe Couillard
