Premier François Legault hinted on Monday that he could eventually announce tax cuts to help Quebecers strangled by inflation.

“We never said that we would not announce tax cuts,” exclaimed Mr. Legault when asked about this issue during a press briefing on Monday.

The latter was invited to react after the Liberal Party of Quebec had advanced, on the sidelines of its national convention over the weekend, to wish to bet on tax cuts to put money back in the pockets of Quebecers.

“Recurringly, should we make tax cuts? I ask you for a little patience. I understand that the Liberals, unconventionally, announce their campaign commitments four months before the election. We are going to do it in time and place, ”left the chief caquiste hovering as a reply.

Mr. Legault recalled that his party has already distributed checks to counter inflation, including an amount of $500 this spring to all Quebecers earning less than $100,000 a year, as well as other amounts last January.

"We have already announced that there will be another check in December to cover inflation," he recalled, referring to an electoral commitment he formally made during question period in the Assembly. nationally last week.
