Federal party leaders are campaigning in Quebec today

OTTAWA — Party leaders will be in Quebec today as the second week of the federal election campaign comes to a close.

Liberal Leader Mark Carney said he would strengthen Canada’s public broadcaster if his party wins the federal election later this month. Speaking in Montreal this morning, Carney promised to increase C-B-C’s funding by 150-million dollars, saying it plays a vital role in Canadian storytelling, news and information.

Meanwhile, N-D-P Leader Jagmeet (JUG’-meet) Singh is pitching to voters that only his party will close corporate tax loopholes that he says cost Canadians up to 39-billion dollars annually.

Leader of the Conservative Party Pierre Poilievre will hold a press conference in Trois-Rivières, Que., today.
