The campaign in pictures – Day 9: crossfit for Éric Duhaime after courting the athletes

Over the next 36 days, our journalists and photographers in the field will follow the 2022 election campaign in real time, collecting exclusive images and snapshots. Here is an overview of the ninth day of the campaign in photos and images.

1) The leader of the Conservative Party of Quebec (PCQ), Éric Duhaime, agrees to give a tax credit of $500 for gym subscribers and to eliminate the QST on expenses related to physical activity.

After his announcement, the leader of the PCQ took the opportunity to do a training session.

2) The leader of the Parti Québécois (PQ) demanded, Monday morning, a change in the immigration model which would limit the number of newcomers to 35,000, to protect the language and culture of Quebec.

3) The PLQ proposes to increase the immigration threshold to 70,000 newcomers, unlike the PQ, which wants to reduce it to 35,000.

The leader of the PLQ, Dominique Anglade, was in Trois-Rivières on Monday to talk about the immigration threshold and the labor shortage.

She took the opportunity to dine with activists and do an interview with the local Radio-Canada station.

4) A government formed by Québec solidaire would buy 10,000 houses or condos in a first mandate in order to resell them on average 25% cheaper.

Passing through Longueuil, the head of Québec solidaire unveiled his greenhouse gas reduction plan on Monday, which includes a 15% surcharge (a penalty) for vehicles that emit 210 grams or more of CO₂ per kilometer.

5) The chief caquiste François Legault was meanwhile in La Pêche where he promised to accelerate the deployment of 5G. The CAQ proposes to create a $3 billion fund to improve cellular coverage.
