Policy Platform: Consular-Type Offices and Quebecers Equality

policy platform: Quebec has its own international relations network with consular-type offices in Europe, Asia, Mexico and the United States, according to Brandon Sun. The province is also planning to open offices in Cuba and in Philadelphia. The government is setting aside 100 million over five years to support its first new foreign policy platform since 2006. Premier Philippe Couillard told reporters the province's foreign policy will emphasize two fundamental questions that are important to Quebecers equality between men and women and the rights of sexual minorities. And Quebec's position on the international scene should be accompanied by the representation of these two values. I think in Quebec there is a very broad consensus on these two questions, he said.
