Although the PCQ wishes to form the next Quebec government, this does not prevent it from trying to make itself known elsewhere. An article published Friday on the American media site USA Today presents the vision of Éric Duhaime, leader of the PCQ, on the file of taxes in Quebec.
However, this article was paid for and authorized by a PCQ agent, a strategy that may seem bizarre in the midst of an election campaign.
Coming out of a pandemic that has had financial repercussions on everyone, Quebecers are paying too much tax, believe Éric Duhaime and his party. “A reduction in progressive tax rates by 2% and the eventual implementation of a flat tax rate would allow Quebec to continue its ascent as one of the most dynamic economies in the world,” indicated Mr. Duhaime in this article in English.
Moreover, the subject of Éric Duhaime’s personal taxes caused a lot of talk during the election campaign after the Bureau of Inquiry revealed that the leader of the PCQ was the subject of 14 notices for unpaid taxes on the one of his buildings.
After being made aware of this matter, Mr. Duhaime paid off his debt, which should be paid by his tenant according to an agreement reached between them.
Asked Saturday afternoon about the publication of this publicity article, Éric Duhaime did not seem to be aware of its existence, even though the link to the paper was tweeted on the Conservative Party of Quebec (PCQ) Twitter feed earlier. during the day.
“You exceed my skills in the purchase of election advertising, he dropped. I think it came with it. There was an advertising agreement. I don’t know the details with the marketing agency (…) Honestly, I don’t know. I didn’t give the contract. »
The PCQ should provide more details on this subject later this Saturday.
