Introduced
This Quebec bill puts into law fiscal measures from the November 2024 economic update and the March 2025 provincial budget.
Key Changes
- Gives legal force to tax and fiscal measures announced in the November 2024 economic update
- Implements measures from the March 25, 2025 Quebec Budget Speech
- Amends various Quebec tax and fiscal laws to reflect the announced changes
- Includes 'certain other measures' beyond those strictly tied to the two fiscal announcements
- Came into force on October 28, 2025, with some exceptions for specific provisions
Gotchas
- The bill covers measures from two separate fiscal announcements, meaning it is broad in scope and likely amends multiple existing laws simultaneously.
- The phrase 'certain other measures' in the title means the bill may include provisions not directly tied to either the November 2024 update or the March 2025 budget, making its full scope difficult to assess from the title alone.
- The bill came into force on October 28, 2025, but contains exceptions — meaning some provisions may have different effective dates, potentially applying retroactively to align with when the budget measures were originally announced.
- The bill was originally introduced in the 43rd Legislature's 1st Session and had to be reinstated in the 2nd Session, which may have caused delays in implementing the announced fiscal measures.
- The full text of the bill (398 KB PDF) and committee amendments (2 MB PDF) are available but were not provided here, so specific tax rate changes or credit amounts cannot be detailed in this summary.

Summary
Bill 99 is a Quebec provincial budget implementation bill introduced by Finance Minister Eric Girard. It gives legal effect to tax and fiscal measures that were announced in two key government documents: the Update on Quebec's Economic and Financial Situation from November 21, 2024, and the Budget Speech delivered on March 25, 2025. Bills like this are a standard part of the budget process — the government first announces fiscal measures in a budget speech, then introduces legislation to formally make those measures law. This type of bill typically covers a wide range of tax changes, spending measures, and adjustments to existing laws that were outlined in the budget. It affects individuals, businesses, and public institutions across Quebec by changing how taxes are calculated, what credits or deductions are available, and how certain government programs are funded or administered. The bill was introduced in the National Assembly of Quebec, passed through committee review with amendments, and received royal assent on October 28, 2025, becoming chapter 27 of the 2025 Statutes of Quebec.
