PQ Reveals Sovereignty Referendum Cost | Edmonton News

Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, leader of the Parti Québécois, is revealing the hefty price tag for a potential Quebec sovereignty referendum—$130 million by 2029 or 2030—with $20 million earmarked for early consultations and a provisional constitution commission. He insists this is a necessary investment in democracy, pledging to appoint a dedicated minister for independence if elected—even under a minority government—and vows not to apologize for consulting the people. While other parties pressed him for fiscal transparency, Plamondon now admits the cost could rise, but insists his plan is fiscally responsible, deliberately excluding future expenses like building a Quebec army.
