On 26 February at CIRANO, around a hundred people took part in a day of reflection on taxation and government programmes in Quebec and on the lessons to be learned from the work of the Commission d'examen sur la fiscalité québécoise and the Commission de révision permanente des programmes in 2015. The day brought together the main architects of these two commissions, experts from academia and the public service, Carlos Leitão and Martin Coiteux, the ministers responsible for the two commissions at the time, and media representatives. They debated the major challenges facing Quebec today with lucidity, intelligence, rigour and sometimes a good dose of humour. Many thanks to our partners at the la Chaire en fiscalité et en finances publiques and the Centre sur la productivité et la prospérité – Fondation Walter J. Somers, who greatly contributed to the success of the day.
