I am a mature student studying at Carleton and only remember the mistakes that Jacques Parizeau did when he was Finance Minister and later Premier of Quebec. He nationalized the asbestos companies in the early 1980′s creating the Societe national de l”Asbestos. It cost the Quebec Tax payer nearly $400 . million to compansate the companies and then the market for asbsetos product fell dramatically and Quebec had a white elephant on it’s hands (S.N.A.)>In the early 1980′s parizeau raised the provincial excise tax on Gasoline and there was at leat a 20 cent a liter difference in price between Ottawa and Hull, I even saw Surete du Quebec unmarked cars fill up in Ottawa.Eventually the province had to relent. Also his rant about money and ethnics on referendum night was totally uncalled for as his first wife was polish. My perception of Jacques Parizeau is that he was a buffon and not taken seriously by other finance ministers or premiers.
