Independent Quebec and Pauline Marois

Pauline Marois: That is Premier Pauline Marois's idea of how Quebec would function after a vote to separate from Canada, according to CTV. She said Quebec's economy is stronger than in has been in years and she could not see any reason why Canada would not want to partner with an independent Quebec, much as European countries are politically independent and yet share the Euro. "They accept to share their borders, their money they have the Euro, so that is a model which is very interesting, but in the European Union each country has its independence," she said and An independent Quebec would not have border agents and would continue to use the Canadian dollar, while Quebec would have a seat on the Bank of Canada. Marois was in Quebec City to boast about controlling expenses, even as the debt has hit record levels and her government had to push back plans to have a balanced budget. Marois explains how an independent Quebec would share money, borders with Canada (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
