Story summary

Quebec's election campaign, now entering its 26th day, is focusing heavily on business issues with two weeks left until voting on October 5. Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) leader Christine Fréchette plans to visit a cabinetry company in Coaticook, Que., south of Sherbrooke, highlighting her party's support for local businesses. Meanwhile, Liberal Leader Charles Milliard is scheduled to appear at the Paccar heavy-duty truck assembly plant in Sainte-Thérèse, another move to engage with industry concerns. Party leaders from CAQ, Liberals, and PQ have made various promises, including boosting shipping, forestry, and increasing birthrates respectively, while Québec solidaire has pledged to end blind bidding in home purchases. The campaign also saw debates over fracking and warnings of ideological convergence between the Parti Québécois (PQ) and Conservatives as framed by their opponents.
