Liberals move forward to deliver on Quebec’s priorities

La Prairie, Quebec- Justin Trudeau and the Liberals are the only team that have a real plan to deliver on the priorities and needs of Quebec.

Quebecers need real leadership to tackle the challenges of today and tomorrow. That’s why the Liberal plan is going to get the job done on vaccines, strengthen gun control laws, accelerate climate action, and support the creation of 37,000 child care spaces. This is important work that needs to be done now to keep Quebecers safe and supported, but Erin O’Toole and Yves-François Blanchet want to stand in the way of our progress. They both won’t support proof of vaccine credentials to keep Canadians safe and don’t take climate action seriously.

“Getting Quebecers through this pandemic and building a better future requires leadership, and that’s exactly what we’re delivering,” said Justin Trudeau, Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. “Our plan will build a green recovery for jobs and a cleaner future, keep dangerous assault weapons off our streets, and support more child care spaces for Quebec families. Together, we’re going to keep moving forward for Quebecers.”

A re-elected Liberal government will build a better future for middle class Quebecers by:

• Continuing to take real action to fight climate change, including by capping emissions from the oil and gas sector and ensuring they decline at a pace and scale needed to reach our shared goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.
• Maintaining our ban on 1,500 types of military-style assault weapons and implementing a buyback to keep guns out of our communities.
• Creating 37,000 new child care spaces in Quebec as part of a $6 billion agreement that will also improve working conditions for early childhood educators.
• Requiring travellers on planes, trains, and cruise ships to be fully vaccinated to finish the fight against COVID-19.
• Supporting provinces and territories who implement vaccine requirements, including Quebec.

“From taking strong climate action to getting guns off our streets, and finishing the fight against COVID-19, our team will have your backs,” said Mr. Trudeau. “The Conservatives will only take us backward on these important issues, and the Bloc can’t deliver on Quebec’s priorities. Only the Liberal team understands the needs of Quebec and has a real plan to deliver on them. This important election, let’s choose to keep moving forward – for everyone.”
