Clearly pleased with himself, he announced that the last year ended with a surplus of $5.6 billion.

The government of François Legault can say thank you to the former Liberal government of Philippe Couillard who cleaned up the public finances, as well as to the additional $1.4 billion this year from the Equalization program.
