It was produced after Blanchet's summer tours, virtual and in person, in the regions of Quebec.

Among the measures proposed in this document, which looks like an electoral platform, the Bloc is calling for an end to dependence on hydrocarbons and to promote the transformation of Quebec's wealth.

The plan proposes to transform investment in natural resources and enhance Quebec's environmental industries such as renewable energies, forestry, wastewater management and research and development.
