WATCH: On the eve of the unveiling of Quebec's budget, Finance Minister Eric Girard offered a glimpse of this year's priorities. For a second year in a row, Girard is foregoing the tradition of buying new shoes. Instead he is making a donation that sets the tone for what's to come. Global's Gloria Henriquez reports.
“Food security is a priority for us and we are showing it very concretely,” said Quebec’s Education Minister Bernard Drainville. “Housing for sure, we see the needs and it’s directly connected with the vulnerability of people having trouble to find a home and living in the streets, for example,” said Montreal mayor Valérie Plante.“It’s not excluded that there will be cuts or attempts in spending control at other policy areas,” said Prof. Daniel Béland, head of the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada.
