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.<\/p>\n

St\u00e9phanie Pr\u00e9vost, candidate for the Conservative Party of Quebec (CPQ), is taking on her first political campaign after working in the health domaine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs I work in mental health and now I\u2019m in an HR department, I saw a lot of anxiety around me. I know that I\u2019m not the one that can take care of everybody, but I need to put my voice out there more to help people,\u201d said Pr\u00e9vost. \u201c(\u2026) I thought it was the right time for me to be there to make big changes in our society and Quebec.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pr\u00e9vost noted that some of the most important aspects of the CPQ\u2019s platform are related to the health care system, more particularly to have more doctors in the public health care system and decentralizing the health care system entirely.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to join the private and the public (systems). People are scared sometimes that it will cost something these type of projects, but it will be the RAMQ still that will be taken for services,\u201d she explained. \u201cThe doctors will be able to work in the public too because right now they can\u2019t do it. If you are private, you cannot go to the public if you are a doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pr\u00e9vost added that the CPQ also wants to reduce taxes, support those that want to come out of retirement or continue to work, and invest in at-home-care for senior citizens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to take care of seniors, it\u2019s very important for us to take care of them. We can\u2019t talk about a society without respecting our seniors,\u201d emphasized Pr\u00e9vost.<\/p>\n

In Brome-Missisquoi in particular, Pr\u00e9vost explained that because there is such a large Anglophone presence, addressing Bill 96 is a priority. She noted that the CPQ is completely against the bill and plans on \u201cputting it in the garbage.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe think we have to live together, reunite together, and stop dividing people. (\u2026) If you read all of the things about it, it\u2019s really not a good thing. We want to protect French for sure, but there are other ways than repressing the Anglophone community to keep French,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the provincial level, Pr\u00e9vost wants to implement environmental initiatives, address the housing crisis, be the voice of the people, and work with the people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes they have solutions, but they aren\u2019t listened to. I want to make sure that they are listened to and bring my voice for them to the National Assembly if they need it,\u201d mentioned Pr\u00e9vost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
