PQ government would scrap planned Quebec tuition hikes

The Parti Québécois says it's uniquely suited to restore social peace in Quebec and it plans to achieve that by scrapping controversial tuition hikes within its first 100 days in office.

The Parti Québécois says it's uniquely suited to restore social peace in Quebec and it plans to achieve that by scrapping controversial tuition hikes within its first 100 days in office.

Party leader Pauline Marois sought to illustrate that case on the first full day of the provincial election campaign by riding the Montreal subway system Thursday with her candidates - one of them a 20-year-old who helped organize Quebec's student strikes.

The Quebec election will be held Sept. 4. Liberal Premier Jean Charest is seeking a fourth mandate.
