Projet Montréal, the official opposition, is urging the city to set tax rates below inflation and increase rent assistance in the budget that will be presented on Nov. 24, 2026.
The opposition says the measures are needed to keep taxes affordable for residents and to provide greater support for renters.
The demand comes as Montreal prepares its second annual budget for 2026, with the opposition pressing for these fiscal changes ahead of the budget tabled on Nov. 24. Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada and Ensemble Montréal are mentioned in the political context.
