Quebec politicians have been travelling around the province for weeks, promising to fix health care, improve education and lower the cost of living. A CBC News review of more than three decades of data suggests those promises come with a poor track record.

According to CBC's summary of its review, a provincial government in Quebec is more likely to break or walk back a campaign pledge than it is to keep it.

This is a short brief based on CBC's own summary of its reporting. CBC is the only outlet to have reported the story so far, and fuller details, including which parties or promises the data covers, have not been independently confirmed yet.

Earlier coverage
