Quebec is "going on the offensive" to protect and promote French, Minister Jean-François Roberge said on Sunday as he presented a $603-million plan to counter what he described as the language's decline.

Premier François Legault says the fall provincial election campaign will launch "for real" on Sunday, August 28, 2022, following weeks of unofficial campaigning by political parties and billions of dollars already promised to voters.

Quebec's official election campaign isn't expected to start for at least another week, but the province's governing party has already made billions of dollars in promises.
