Just 20% in Quebec are satisfied with the Legault government's efforts on homelessness

According to a study by the Angus Reid Institute, just 20% of Quebecers believe the Quebec government led by François Legault has done a good job with regards to poverty and homelessness. A majority, 67%, say that the Legault government has done a poor job on homelessness.

A new report by Quebec’s public health institute (INSPQ) has found that homelessness in the province has increased by 44% since 2018.

The same study also found that 74% believe Legault and the CAQ have done a poor job on housing affordability in Quebec.

“Premier François Legault endured some attrition this quarter with respect to his own personal approval, and his government, though recently re-elected, faces criticism on each of the three most important issues to Quebecers. On each, at least 64% say the government is doing a poor job currently.”

According to Angus Reid’s Government Performance Index (GPI) — which represents the average number of residents saying their own provincial government is doing a good or very good job across 13 different key issues including inflation, the economy and health care — just 1 in 3 Quebecers (33%) approve of the Legault government.

The Angus Reid Institute conducted an online survey from May 30 – June 3, 2023, among a representative randomized sample of 3,885 Canadian adults who are members of the Angus Reid Forum.
