The promises of the PQ, you believed? As stated Coluche: "The right of selling promises
and do not take the left sells the> hope and breaks." But in the case of PQ is a mixture
of both. After betting on political alternation and surfed popular discontent spring 2012,
the PQ is quickly returned to his mantra Bouchard years. Of course, we rushed to the
government to justify this situation by the state of public finances in the province and
their minority status in the National Assembly. ---- Obsession and the willingness of
policymakers to PQ zero deficit would be justified in order to demonstrate that the party
can first form a "good government" for a majority next election and a referendum
hypothetical third round . That at least is the way that the party is trying to swallow
the snake to its members.
But a "good government" who exactly? With the measures taken - or not taken further -
until now by the government: back on the abolition of health tax on the creation of two
new levels of taxation and the abolition of the rate increase of the heritage Hydro-Qu?bec
(rates will now be indexed), etc.. This is not a piece of skirt but it gives us a glimpse
its entirety. In fact, it is more vis-?-vis the Council of management and rating agencies,
it is important to demonstrate the PQ can be a "good government" or a good student - this
is the choice - the rest does not matter.
UQAC austerity: a first in a long line?
Minister Marceau has quickly betrayed the commitments made by his party in the last
election and made his knife to public spending. In this case, it would be more appropriate
to use as the image axes. Saguenay Lac-St-Jean, is eagerly and zeal that the university
administration, the announcement of the cuts, began to slash the budget. Indeed, even
before the summit on the post-secondary education, the administration announced a major
series of cuts and fare increases, even at the expense of its missions of research and
teaching. Among these, we note the closure of the study Charlevoix, hosting nearly 100
higher education or the disappearance of a number of services until the student
population: the service of employment assistance The program of academic achievement and
health services (social work, psychologist and physician). But fear not, in its infinite
wisdom, the university administration has found the solution: provide these services -
health services for less - through volunteer work students. After all, the university
offers programs in these areas and people of higher education are not lacking. In the
worst case, the student will be suggested by the rector: go to the hospital!
Managers are also the ax to the side of international mobility grants for students, and
merge the First Nations Centre Nikanite and Knowledge Centre able UQAC CESAM. To justify
the 60% increase thumbnail parking, the rector said that if people of higher education
"have" new cars, they may well pay more. Of course, the park is without a doubt reserved
for the exclusive use of the student population and transit, what about public
transportation ... it is the most developed in the world.
The administration also announced layoffs and hiring freezes, after the mixers is to be
given to their heart on the campus of UQAC recent years and spending for dubious were
reported by the "great journalists "Quebecor Gesca and can not be accused of great
sympathy red squares. Among these were: the purchase of pens whose unit cost is $ 500 for
travel expenses astronomical payments since 2006 more than $ 700,000 collected even
operating funds of the university to improve generous pension fund executives, etc.. Even
cutting, the administration is no exception UQAC its market vision of education. She says
even stronger as a simple product to serve its students, or rather, as she thinks, her
clients, the rest is secondary and therefore an excuse to replenish its coffers and more
than anything else to prevent managers do not have to tighten the belly!
Shit spring "Maple" fight now!
