Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Speech on the Budget by the Hon. P. Bachand, Treasurer of the Province of Quebec: Delivered in the Legislative Assembly, Quebec, 18th June, 1878
Recourse to new taxes. On the other hand, the present Government, in taking the reins of power, engages to fulfil all the obligations of the Province legitimately contracted, without injury to the public service, by the adoption of a policy of economy and retrenchment well applied, and with out having recourse to direct taxation. The task of the present Government is then important and difficult, as numerous abuses must have been committed, and the lack of foresight must necessarily have been great, and in both cases it is difficult to repair the evil which has so long existed. This imprudence and these abuses Will be easily understood.
