Taxation and government programs in Quebec

What can we learn from the “Godbout Commission” and the “Robillard Commission” 10 years on?

CIRANO

Wednesday 26 Feb 2025
From 10AM To 5:30PM

In 2014, the Quebec government mandated two groups of experts from various backgrounds to turn over all the stones and thoroughly review the role, objectives and relevance of all tax measures and programs designed to support the missions of the Quebec state.

Ten years on, the work of the Commission d'examen sur la fiscalité québécoise and the Commission de révision permanente des programmes provides invaluable insights to inform policy and decision-making in today's economic, social and budgetary contexts.

Organized by the Chaire en fiscalité et en finances publiques (CFFP), CIRANO and the Centre sur la productivité et la prospérité - Fondation Walter J. Somers (CPP), this day of reflection will bring together several of the principal architects of these impressive tax and program evaluation exercises. They will be joined by academics, analysts, journalists and key people from government agencies with recognized expertise in these issues.

The day will be followed by a cocktail reception.
