The cost of living and the economy are taking centre stage as the Quebec election campaign enters its fourth day.

The Quebec Liberal Party is promising to cap rents and service fees for seniors in privately managed homes, while Québec solidaire wants a rent cap for all tenants.

The Quebec Conservatives are expected to announce plans to abolish the sales tax on used goods.

The Coalition Avenir Québec laid out its fiscal plan, which would include a deficit of about $2 billion per year until 2031.
