The Quebec provincial election is quickly making its way around the corner with voting day taking place on Monday, October 3.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the \u00c9lections Quebec website, there are ten candidates running in the Brome-Missisquoi region for this year\u2019s election.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These candidates are: Isabelle Charest (Coalition avenir Qu\u00e9bec), Pierre Fontaine (D\u00e9mocratie directe), S\u00e9bastien Houle (Ind\u00e9pendant), Alexandre Legault (Qu\u00e9bec solidaire), Lynn Moore (Canadian Party of Qu\u00e9bec), Caitlin Moynan (Green Party), Guillaume Paquet (Parti qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois), St\u00e9phanie Pr\u00e9vost (Parti conservateur du Qu\u00e9bec), Tommy Quirion-Bouchard (Climat Qu\u00e9bec), and Claude Vadeboncoeur (Quebec Liberal Party).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For the next week and half, CIDI 99.1 FM is sitting down with candidates who\u00a0 <\/span>will speak on their political platform and the issues they plan to address in the Brome-Missisquoi riding and at the provincial level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We first had the chance to sit down with Quebec Liberal Party Candidate (QLP) Claude Vadeboncoeur, a former military officer whom also has an extensive background working alongside the United Nations as a civilian and then as a safety, security, and governance advisor for different departments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c I decided to run in the first place because I saw a need to change the way Quebec was governed. I wanted to continue serving the population, I\u2019ve always been working in service to my country, to the United Nations, and now to my riding and region,\u201d said Vadeboncoeur.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vadeboncoeur noted that while the QLP has a national platform, at the regional level he plans to focus on the protection and expansion of the Brome-Missisquoi Perkins Hospital (BMP Hospital).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s emergency ward is being overworked as we speak. They are always at 150% to 190% capacity. We are stretching the elastic and that won\u2019t last too long. We need to have more doctors in that ward, we need to protect BMP and we want to make sure that BMP can develop and provide more services where more services are needed,\u201d explained Vadeboncoeur.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He also plans to address the controversial language law Bill 96 at the local and provincial level. This includes the notwithstanding clause, the six-month time limit for immigrants to learn French, and student\u2019s access to the educational institution in the language of their choice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI want to make sure that the population here receives the services they need in their language and that is not to say that we are in favour of French bashing, quite the contrary. I think both of them are complementary,\u201d mentioned Vadeboncoeur.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other issues at the top of his list for the Brome-Missisquoi region include protecting the environment through agriculture, particularly in the western sector of the riding, food autonomy, and food proximity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the provincial level, Vadeboncoeur explained that he wants to ensure that immigrants who come to Quebec have the opportunity to \u201cwork to their full potential\u201d and that their diploma is recognized in their field of study, that retirees have the support to re-enter the workforce if they need to, and he plans to address the housing crisis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of local initiatives already. I know we have a major one in Sutton, I know there are others in Bromont, throughout the riding, of local organizations that have plans and projects to build affordable housing. We just need to properly support that and to make sure through proper rules and regulations we can support their endeavour,\u201d noted Vadeboncoeur.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He also wants to focus on lowering income taxes for low-income and middle class families and individuals, ridding the Quebec Sales Tax on necessary goods, such as toothpaste, soap, shampoo, and affordable daycare.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a vast array of programs that will help with giving more breathing room to all the people in Brome-Missisquoi and the province at large,\u201d emphasized Vadeboncoeur.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
