(Quebec) The Legault government does not intend to be generous with oil and gas companies that have invested in Quebec’s potential in hydrocarbons.
The government recently announced that it was going to ban exploration and exploitation activities in the field of hydrocarbons in the territory, but companies may therefore demand to be compensated for the expenses incurred or the income they will have to pay. deprive.
At a press conference on Friday, Mr. Legault let it be known that he wants to give as little compensation as possible to companies.
He added, however, that in the context where he is trying to attract investment to Quebec, he must therefore send the message that Quebec is not a “banana republic”.
Mr. Legault therefore wants to ensure that this is done correctly.
