Quebec Not in Danger of Recession

 - Raymond BachaND - Flickr: imagedistributioncanadaQuebec Finance Minister Raymond Bachand said the province doesn’t need a stimulus. The Canadian and Quebec economies are in strong enough condition that a stimulus is unnecessary. 

The minister said provincial revenues have been increasing lately. This is a result of new jobs.

Quebec’s GDP increased by nearly one percent in the first quarter of 2011. He credits the last stimulus from the Federal government for helping Quebec recover quickly.

While growth is slower than expected, both Bachand and Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, don’t think a recession will happen.
