Abstract

To characterize the performance of the Québec economy over the last quarter century, some twenty statistical indicators are presented. In spite of some strong sectors, the global economic performance of Québec has been significantly lower than that of the rest of Canada and the United States. Many challenges are confronting us. We are in a certain sense condemned to be more efficient and more innovative than our main competitors and partners in order to reverse the current trend towards marginality. A new quiet revolution is necessary; it must reaffirm the social democratic goals and principles that have become synonymous with modern Québec but proceed with a radically different set of ways, means and policies, that is, implement a competitive social democracy.For a summary (In French, 9 pages)." Afin de caractériser la performance économique du Québec depuis 25 ans, quelque vingt indicateurs statistiques sont présentés. Malgré la présence de secteurs en plein développement, la performance économique globale du Québec traîne dangereusement derrière celle du reste du Canada et des États-Unis. Plusieurs défis devront être relevés. Nous sommes d'une certaine manière condamnés à être plus efficaces et plus innovateurs que nos principaux concurrents et partenaires afin de renverser la tendance actuelle vers la marginalité. Cette véritable nouvelle révolution tranquille devrait incarner les mêmes principes sociaux-démocrates que ceux qui ont présidé à l'avènement du Québec moderne mais s'appuyer sur des moyens, modalités et politiques radicalement différents, i.e. implémenter une social-démocratie concurrentielle.Pour un sommaire (9 pages)."
