Charles Milliard, a representative of the Liberal Party in Quebec, has announced a proposal that would allow free access to all 23 national parks overseen by the Société des établissements de plein air du Québec (SÉPAQ). This proposal is being promoted as a way to encourage more Quebec residents and visitors to engage in outdoor recreational activities and experience the natural beauty of the province.
The promise is contingent on the Liberal Party achieving victory in the upcoming provincial election scheduled for October 5. Milliard's proposal is designed to appeal to voters who value environmental conservation and outdoor leisure, a sector that has seen increased interest in recent years.
This move is part of a wider trend among political parties in Quebec as they develop policies that resonate with citizens looking for increased access to nature. The Liberal Party is positioning this policy as a significant part of its platform, aiming to enhance public engagement with provincial parks while promoting tourism in these areas.
