Bachand breaks finance minister's tradition

Raymond Bachand, Quebec’s Minister of Finance, broke the tradition of Quebec finance ministers this Tuesday, by not wearing a new pair of shoes to their taxing ad spending plans. Instead, he wore new laces.

Bachand says he didn’t wear shoes because he doesn’t see the point in spending money on something he doesn’t need. In fact, he refuses to buy new shoes until next year when he hopes to return to a balanced budget.

Bachand’s invited his office for the annual pantomime of finance ministers. The budget that Buchand has been planning remains secret.

Currently, Quebec has been running on deficit budget since 2009 in order to counterbalance the events of late 2008. This was caused of risk-taking practices in financial markets.

From the time when Bouchand has been involved in Quebecs spending, he has proposed new taxes which have generated over $4billion in new tax revenues.
