Summary
Bill 4 is a Quebec provincial budget implementation bill introduced by Finance Minister Eric Girard. It puts into law the specific measures that were announced in the Quebec government's Budget Speech delivered on March 25, 2025. Budget implementation bills like this one are a standard part of the budget process — after the government announces its spending and tax plans, it must pass legislation to make those plans legally binding. The bill affects a wide range of areas covered by the 2025 Quebec budget, which may include changes to taxes, government programs, public spending, and various provincial laws. It also amends other existing provincial legislation as needed to align with the new budget measures. The bill passed through all stages of the National Assembly quickly, receiving royal assent on November 12, 2025, the same day it passed its final vote. Because the full text of the bill was not provided here, the specific details of every measure it contains are not available for review. However, as a budget implementation bill, it would typically include fiscal, social, and economic policy changes reflecting the priorities outlined in the spring 2025 Quebec budget.
