The Marois Polimeter

Tracking Pauline Marois’ Campaign Promises

The Marois Polimeter has compiled 113 promises found in the PQ platform as presented during the 2012 election and is tracking progress toward their realisation. Click here to see the 2012 PQ platform.

Each promise is rated as "kept", "kept in part or in the works", "broken", or "not yet rated". Each rating is supported by a citation drawn from government press releases, government bills, other official public documents or media sources. For the time being we will be leaving the PQ’s promises in their original wording and language.

The report card above provides an up-to-date tally of all the promises. Click on the wording of each rating to see individual promises. Click on the individual promise to see a citation from the source on which the rating is based. Then, click on “source” to access the supporting document from which the citation was extracted.

The Polimeter is updated on a regular basis. Our research team is comprised of members of the Poltext project, which is associated with the Centre for the Analysis of Public Policy at Université Laval. Team members are politically independent. The project is funded by a grant from the Fonds de recherche du Québec société et culture.

We want to hear your suggestions and comments. For tips or comments on our campaign promise database, please e-mail us at [email protected]. If you are commenting on a specific promise, please include the wording of the promise.
