Reducing the cost of service programs while stimulating the economy are two key components of the provincial government\u2019s budget as a way to eliminate Quebec\u2019s growing deficit. The budget, released last week, offers a series of measures to generate more revenues despite the global economy\u2019s sluggish growth, noted Martin Coiteux, Nelligan MNA, Minister of Government Administration and Program Revision Treasury Board president. <\/p>\n

\u201cSmall and medium enterprises are the heart of job creation in Quebec and by reducing their tax burden, we are making it easier for them to do business,\u201d Coiteux told The Suburban.<\/i><\/p>\n

Businesses will be encouraged to add to their work force with tax incentives as well. For long term growth, Coiteux cited the return of the Plan Nord as well as the Martime Strategy, projects designed to further safe development with long standing economic opportunities for all parties involved.<\/p>\n

Coiteux also noted that the government is well aware of the tax burden on the average Quebecer and that a commission will soon be put in place to \u201cstudy and improve the current taxation system, not by adding to the current burden but by making it more efficient designed to stimulate work and effort.\u201d<\/p>\n

The commission will study all aspects of taxation including taxable income, business taxes, subsidies and tax credits.<\/p>\n

Another proposed commission will be to \u201creview all government programs and reposition expenditures compatible with our fiscal revenues,\u201d said Coiteux. \u201cWe have to have the courage to look at the current system and decide that some programs might disappear while others will be funded better channeled to the needs of a modern society.\u201d<\/p>\n

Demographics reflecting a rapidly aging population and economic growth not as robust as pre-recession indicators \u201cwill take important decisions, something that has never been done before in the province.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Nelligan MNA weighed in on the Train de l\u2019ouest,<\/i> stating that although the project is listed as being \u201cunder study\u201d with the government, \u201cit is still considered a priority of this government and as MNA, I will be addressing this issue with the minister of transport within the shortest delay.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
