The Privatization of Hydro-Québec: a source of wealth for Quebec’s population

After analyzing Hydro-Québec’s performance from various standpoints, Claude Garcia explains why it is time to think seriously about privatizing this state corporation. He sets out a detailed process for getting there and shows how a privatization that is well put together, associated with the distribution of a large block of shares to Quebec citizens and the sale of another block on the markets, together with a system of government royalties, will help enrich Quebecers substantially even if a rise in electricity rates can be expected.
