The 2022 Quebec general election held on October 3, 2022 resulted in a second decisive victory for the Coalition avenir Québec (CAQ), led by François Legault. The CAQ won 90 of the 125 seats in the National Assembly, 16 more than in 2018, with 40.98% of the popular vote.

Promise History

2.06.026 - “A re-elected CAQ government will] rapidly electrify its transportation sector – private vehicles and public transit alike. Our conversion to electric-powered transportation will be one of the fastest in North America.”

Justification

The government plans to use these investments to electrify individual transport. However, these investments do not appear to be aimed at electrifying public transport.

“The Quebec government is stepping up its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and plans to invest $3.8 billion over the next five years to accelerate the electrification of transportation, particularly light vehicles, and to reduce the role of the “solo car” in favor of other, more sustainable modes of travel. [With these measures, Quebec is giving itself the means to have the most electrified and least polluting vehicle fleet in North America. […] The government has also earmarked additional investments to promote the electrification of heavy vehicles. Funding for the Écocamionnage program has been increased by $82.5 million, and support for the electrification of intercity and private buses has been increased by $13.5 million.” (Translation)”
