Quebec budget

The Quebec budget is an annual act of the National Assembly of Quebec, giving statutory authority to the Government of Quebec for its revenue and expenditure plans. For the financial year 2024/25 the budget was approximately $1,718,000,000.[1] The bill to implement (the fiscal measures of) the Budget Speech, is presented to the Legislative Assembly by the finance minister. The current finance minister is Eric Girard, who was appointed to the role in October 2018.[2][3]
Purpose
[edit]The Government of Quebec is ultimately accountable to the members of the Legislative Assembly and to the Quebecois public for its use of public money and how its spending is allocated.[4] The Government of Quebec allocates funding for areas which include schools, hospitals, policing, certain social security benefits, the economy, climate change and the environment, amongst others, from the Quebec budget.[5] The Quebec budget is primarily funded via provincial taxes and the Canadian transfer payments.[6]
