# Asking for the federal government’s gradual reinvestment in social housing in order to reach an objective of almost $2 Billion in investments per year in affordable and social housing.
# Demanding of the federal government that it transfers to the government of Québec the amount it saves off of its taxation from the Québécois low contribution day-care centers.
# Proposing many modifications to the Employment Insurance system in order to address the situation of seasonal workers and to allow a genuine access for women and youths.
# Demanding a raise of federal transfers for post-secondary education (college and university) and social programs of 2.75 billion $ over three years for Québec.
# Making sure that the federal government enforces the Kyoto Protocol in a fair and just way, without having Québec pay for Alberta’s oil industry or Ontario’s automobile industry.
# Supporting the development of Québec’s social economy and co-operative movement.
# Insisting that Québec’s regions receive a larger part of the structured investments of the federal government.
# Proposing many measures aiming at improving the Saint Lawrence River’s competitiveness, to stimulate regional aerial and railway transport.
