Quebec’s structural deficit will be lower than expected, Finance Minister Éric Girard said Monday.
Mr. Girard expects it to be under the $3 billion mark. A year ago, the minister predicted in his last budget that the structural deficit would be over $6 billion.
“The economy performed very well in 2021, an exceptional performance. Quebec did better than Canada, the United States and Ontario. »
Mr. Girard made his traditional appearance in front of journalists to show off a new pair of shoes, on the eve of the tabling of the 2022-2023 budget on Tuesday. The minister chose running shoes.
