He’s pitching a pro-business agenda focused on SMEs, ending wasteful subsidies, and making Quebec the most tax-competitive region in North America through wage, capital, and profit tax cuts. On labor, he wants to boost productivity via automation, shifting tax credits from hiring to tech investment to tackle shortages. On immigration, he argues current policies create housing and infrastructure crises by overloading the system — not immigrants themselves — calling for smarter policy to align growth with capacity. The core message: efficiency, competitiveness, and smarter spending for real citizen benefits. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
