The Gold Report<\/em><\/p>\n

A plan to build roads into mining projects. Tax breaks for junior mining companies. Does the return to power of the Parti Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois signal the end to the province’s mining-friendly policies? Unlikely, according to Eric Lemieux, equity analyst with Laurentian Bank Securities. In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, Lemieux says that even if the PQ tweaks current policy, it will take time, and he believes there are plenty of good stories to tell and invest in before that happens.<\/p>\n

The Gold Report:<\/strong> Eric, you primarily cover mining companies in Qu\u00e9bec, one of Canada’s most mining-friendly provinces. However, last month the Parti Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois (PQ) won a minority mandate. Are the glory days for Qu\u00e9bec’s mining sector over?<\/p>\n

Eric Lemieux:<\/strong> Without saying the glory days are over, the election of the Parti Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois will definitely put things on hold. The PQ has a very pro-environment and anti-mining perspective based on the personal convictions of certain ministers.<\/p>\n
