Recognition of opposition parties: little for the PQ

TVA Nouvelles learned that these negotiations left a bitter taste for the PQ. According to the data in the table, the Blue Room PQ would only get 5 questions per cycle of 100 questions.

Solidarity would receive 25 while the PLQ would benefit from the other 70.

The picture is essentially the same for the operating budget.

The three members of the Parti Québécois would have $495,267 for their parliamentary work. For their part, the 11 MPs from QS would benefit from a sum of nearly $2 million.

The big piece of the pie would go to the 19 elected members of the Liberal Party with a budget of $4.4 million, or 65% of the envelope.

The graph obtained by TVA reminds that on October 3rd the Liberals received 32.36% of the votes of the opposition parties, while the PQ received 32.89% of these votes.

Québec solidaire won the most with 34.73%.
