Yet the business community, still unsettled by higher personal income taxes, a new mining regime and proposed changes to the language law, won’t give the Quebec Premier any credit for it, as she recently lamented in front of the Conseil du Patronat du Québec lobby group. All the while, the left-wing Québec Solidaire party has been ferociously criticizing Ms. Marois and her government’s austerity&#160;.&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>
