Reflection on a fair pricing of water services in Quebec
Social justice issues are a major concern for Quebeckers. Like the social debate, our reflection on the pricing of water services in Quebec places the principle of equity at its centre. The general recommendations we develop in this report are based on the many aspects of this principle, whether it is vertical equity, to protect the most needy from overly high tariffs, horizontal equity, to ensure that conscientious consumers do not unduly subsidize the behaviour of irresponsible consumers, or intergenerational equity, to ensure the sustainability of our infrastructure.
