Per-person spending by the Quebec government hit its highest point in 2021, with Premier François Legault surpassing the spending records of all of his predecessors since 1965, a new study by the Fraser Institute indicates.
The study, published on Feb. 29, says the Legault government’s 2021 program spending reached $15,562 per person—far exceeding the $2,942 figure in 1965, the earliest year of comparable data.
