Characteristics

Bernard Landry inherits a government whose approval rating is with lowest. Part of the population is dissatisfied and deplores the degradation of the services in the health system and the law on forced fusions of the municipalities which has just voted the government Bouchard. During his two years of being able, the new Prime Minister tries to give again a little dynamism to his government while misant inter alia on the fight against poverty. He makes adopt a law anti-poverty and grants the parity to all the people receiving benefits of social security. He decides for the Mondialisation. He manages an agreement with the Cris on the development of the James Bay. He adheres to the Protocole of Kyoto.

Landry also promises to start again the national question. While waiting, the fights against Ottawa relate especially to fiscal imbalance between the federal one and the provinces which exists since the cuts in the equalization of the federal Minister for Finance, Paul Martin, in order to achieve her goal of deficit zero. But, far from wanting to regulate fiscal imbalance, the government of Jean Chrétien denies her existence.
