Fédérales 2025: course à 6 dans Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine–Listuguj
Les citoyen(ne)s de la circonscription Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine–Listuguj auront à choisir entre six candidat(e)s confirmé(e)s par Élections Canada en vue du scrutin fédéral.
La députée libérale sortante pour la Gaspésie et les Îles, Diane Lebouthillier, vise un quatrième mandat consécutif dans la nouvelle circonscription élargie.
Celui que les sondages désignent comme son principal adversaire, le bloquiste Alexis Deschênes, en est quant à lui à sa première élection fédérale.
Le conservateur Jean-Pierre Pigeon tente lui aussi sa chance pour une quatrième fois, alors que le Parti populaire du Canada (PPC) est représenté par le même candidat qu’en 2021, Christian Rioux.
Le Nouveau Parti démocratique (NPD) soumet pour sa part la candidature de Denise Giroux, qui a auparavant tenté de se faire élire lors des deux scrutins précédents dans le Pontiac, en Outaouais.
Enfin, la bannière du Parti Rhinocéros est portée par Shawn Grenier.
Notons que le Parti vert n’a pas réussi à faire valider la candidature de Gerry Howlett par Élections Canada; la formation politique sera donc absente des bulletins de vote dans la circonscription.
Le vote par anticipation se déroulera durant la fin de semaine de Pâques, du 18 au 21 avril, tandis que le scrutin général aura lieu le 28 avril. Les résident(e)s des Îles qui ne figurent pas sur la liste électorale peuvent s’inscrire en ligne ou au bureau local d’Élections Canada, situé dans l’édifice de la Légion royale canadienne à Cap-aux-Meules.

"In an emailed reply to CBC News on Friday, N.B. Power said its board of directors had asked the accounting firm KPMG to conduct the audit requested by the government, "with a view to identifying the root cause(s) of the increases."
KPMG will observe testing of some old-style power meters as well as some smart meters and will review "a sampling" of high bill complaints received by N.B. Power customer service agents, said utility spokesperson Dominique Couture.
It wouldn't be possible to review all of the complaints within the allotted timeframe, she said."
Big jump in power bills may be explained when N.B. Power boss appears before MLAs
Online, N.B. Power lists things customers themselves might have done to drive up energy costs

N.B. Power customers who saw large increases on their last bills may find out why when the head of the Crown corporation appears before MLAs later this month.
The legislature's public accounts committee has posted notice of a meeting Feb. 27 to review an assessment of residential operations, as well as its latest annual report and part of a December report by the auditor general.
N.B. Power president and CEO Lori Clark is scheduled to appear.
The provincial government, the only shareholder in the utility, asked N.B. Power on Jan. 21 to conduct an independent audit after widespread complaints from customers about increases in their power consumption and bills that seemed inexplicably high.
Amanda Nelson is one of the customers convinced something went wrong.
According to N.B. Power, her 1,500-square-foot, split-level home used more than 6,055 kWh of electricity over a 38-day billing period ending Jan. 30.
The house has two heat pumps and three electric heaters, she said, but is primarily heated by two wood stoves.
"I work from home, so I can keep the fire going all day."
Looking back two years, Nelson said, her next highest usage was 3,754 kWh over 33 days ending March 27, 2022.
"We have done nothing to warrant a spike like this," she said.
Nelson said that after a long conversation with an N.B. Power customer service agent she was told her old power meter, which was swapped out in December, had a serial number similar to others that were being investigated.
"Whatever the issue it needs to be resolved, and then they have to credit anybody that they've already billed," she said.
There was evidence at a previous Energy and Utilities Board hearing that some old meters could be underreporting consumption by up to 20 per cent as they aged.
Some have wondered if having their power meter swapped out for a smart
meter had an effect on the increased bills. (Silas Brown/CBC News)
If that's part of the issue, Nelson said, more should have been done to brace customers for the impact.
Denis Nowlan of Dieppe said he also had an aberration in his power bill after a smart meter was installed at his home in November.
Nowlan said the bill he received that month showed a huge spike in daily consumption for the first 12 days of the billing period, when he was still on the old meter.
Average use was 148 kWh per day, three to four times higher than any other period in November during the previous three years, he said. His highest consuming month in the previous three years was March 2022 at 96 kWh a day.
"This cannot be explained by 'consumption changes,'" Nowlan said. "There is no logical explanation for this."
Nowlan is an electrical engineer with about 18 years of experience designing electrical systems for buildings. He works for the federal government looking after buildings for public works.
He thinks "somebody probably messed up."
He wonders if the technician who replaced the meter forgot to take a reading before removing it or wrote down an incorrect value. Or maybe the first 12 days of the billing period reflect a correction after a number of previous bills based on estimated consumption, he said.
If the latter is the case, he wonders if he was billed in November for electricity he used much earlier — when the rate was lower.
Nowlan said after he contacted N.B. Power, the utility acknowledged something went wrong with his billing and "froze" his account until it could be further investigated.
U.S.-based energy consultant Doug Bowman defended smart meters and said they don't typically lead to higher bills.
They read power consumption, just like the old ones, he said, but allow easier collection of that data.
Smart meters are becoming the new industry standard, said Bowman, projected to be installed in 93 per cent of households in Canada and the United States within the next two years.
He considers them better than the old meters in many ways.
For example, the utility is notified immediately when there's an outage and can respond sooner, he said.
Bowman also considers it an advantage that smart meters allow for billing at different rates during periods of high and low demand, which is more in line with the costs of generating that electricity.
"That enables the customer to get a measure of control over their bills," he said. "They can respond to those rates using more of their consumption in the off-peak — when prices are lower."
In an emailed reply to CBC News on Friday, N.B. Power said its board of directors had asked the accounting firm KPMG to conduct the audit requested by the government, "with a view to identifying the root cause(s) of the increases."
KPMG will observe testing of some old-style power meters as well as some smart meters and will review "a sampling" of high bill complaints received by N.B. Power customer service agents, said utility spokesperson Dominique Couture.
It wouldn't be possible to review all of the complaints within the allotted timeframe, she said.
Online, N.B. Power has posted an appliance energy calculator, a list of factors that could increase energy use and some "high bill mysteries" that were solved:
Mini-split heat pumps that were set on "auto" switching back and forth between heat and air conditioning.
Mismanagement of in-floor heating.
A well pump stuck "on."
Frequent adjusting of thermostats.
Some customers should probably expect to find out that their "giant" bills are totally accurate, said Rob Hoadley, a Fredericton-based mechanical engineer who designs plumbing, HVAC and mechanical systems for commercial and health-care buildings.
Even if a homeowner didn't change behaviour, it took 17 to 20 per cent more electricity to keep a house warm in December 2024 than it did in December 2023, he said.
"It just got cold. And that meant that you consumed a lot of electricity."
When it drops from zero to minus 20 outside, you need twice as much energy to keep the inside of your house a comfortable temperature, Hoadley said.
Combined with increased rates and a higher number of billing days, the math works out, he said.
"All of that adds up to a big shock when you open up your bill."

Audit ordered after soaring N.B. Power bills anger thousands of customers
Minister asks for findings from 3rd-party review to be ready for public accounts committee in a month

N.B. Power will undergo an independent audit after thousands of customer complaints about December power bills, which for many were hundreds of dollars higher than expected.
Announcing the audit Tuesday afternoon, Energy Minister René Legacy told reporters he had asked N.B. Power to have the findings ready for public accounts by Feb. 18.
The date of N.B. Power's appearance at public accounts is not yet confirmed and will be set by the committee.
Premier Susan Holt said the government had been working for a week to understand why increases of $200 to $500 — or up to 1,500 kilowatt hours — had shown up on power bills.
"We've been listening to New Brunswickers and we share your concerns about expensive power bills," Holt told reporters.
"We heard from a large volume of New Brunswickers … with really significant spikes in power bills that were unexpected, that didn't go to trend and we want to get to the bottom of this."

She said her caucus met with N.B. Power representatives on Jan. 20 to get a better understanding of the issue, but "that conversation left us with more questions."
Legacy said he had meetings with the N.B. Power board over the last 10 days, and the utility has agreed to an independent review.

spike to be ready in time for a legislature committee's meeting on Feb.

"They also share the concern that if there are any significant concerns from New Brunswickers, whether their system is compromised, that is an issue for them too, so they want to get to the bottom of it," Legacy said.
Holt said the Liberal government isn't ruling anything out now, but this could simply have been a "perfect storm of pain for New Brunswickers."
Earlier in the day, Lori Clark, the president and CEO of the Crown corporation, said system audits suggested a change in consumption by N.B, Power's customers was the cause.
She said December was the first cold month since rates increased by 9.8 per cent last spring. December was also on average three degrees colder than the December before, and the billing cycle for some customers was as long as 33 days, she said.
A one-time debit of $11 was added for some customers last month, to comply with the Energy and Utilities Board's order to keep distinct service charges for rural and urban customers.
When asked if she would consider a freeze on power rates, Holt said her focus is figuring out what happened in this situation first.
"Right now we need to get to the bottom of this issue, because if there's an issue here that we can learn from it's something that we have to address urgently," she said.

> Subject: Your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes - 2017-02631
> To: "motomaniac333@gmail.com"<motomaniac333@gmail.com>
>
> Mr. David Raymond Amos
> motomaniac333@gmail.com
>
>
> Dear Mr. Amos:
>
> Thank you for your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes,
> and for your understanding regarding the delay of this response.
>
> This is an opportunity for me to address your concerns about the way
> the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) deals with aggressive tax planning,
> tax avoidance, and tax evasion by targeting individuals and groups
> that promote schemes intended to avoid payment of tax. It is also an
> opportunity for me to present the Government of Canada’s main
> strategies for ensuring fairness for all taxpayers.
>
> The CRA’s mission is to preserve the integrity of Canada’s tax system,
> and it is taking concrete and effective action to deal with abusive
> tax schemes. Through federal budget funding in 2016 and 2017, the
> government has committed close to $1 billion in cracking down on tax
> evasion and combatting tax avoidance at home and through the use of
> offshore transactions. This additional funding is expected to generate
> federal revenues of $2.6 billion over five years for Budget 2016, and
> $2.5 billion over five years for Budget 2017.
>
> More precisely, the CRA is cracking down on tax cheats by hiring more
> auditors, maintaining its underground economy specialist teams,
> increasing coverage of aggressive goods and service tax/harmonized
> sales tax planning, increasing coverage of multinational corporations
> and wealthy individuals, and taking targeted actions aimed at
> promoters of abusive tax schemes.
>
> On the offshore front, the CRA continues to develop tools to improve
> its focus on high‑risk taxpayers. It is also considering changes to
> its Voluntary Disclosures Program following the first set of program
> recommendations received from an independent Offshore Compliance
> Advisory Committee. In addition, the CRA is leading international
> projects to address the base erosion and profit shifting initiative of
> the G20 and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
> Development, and is collaborating with treaty partners to address the
> Panama Papers leaks.
>
> These actions are evidence of the government’s commitment to
> protecting tax fairness. The CRA has strengthened its intelligence and
> technical capacities for the early detection of abusive tax
> arrangements and deterrence of those who participate in them. To
> ensure compliance, it has increased the number of actions aimed at
> promoters who use illegal schemes. These measures include increased
> audits of such promoters, improved information gathering, criminal
> investigations where warranted, and better communication with
> taxpayers.
>
> To deter potential taxpayer involvement in these schemes, the CRA is
> increasing notifications and warnings through its communications
> products. It also seeks partnerships with tax preparers, accountants,
> and community groups so that they can become informed observers who
> can educate their clients.
>
> The CRA will assess penalties against promoters and other
> representatives who make false statements involving illegal tax
> schemes. The promotion of tax schemes to defraud the government can
> lead to criminal investigations, fingerprinting, criminal prosecution,
> court fines, and jail time.
>
> Between April 1, 2011, and March 31, 2016, the CRA’s criminal
> investigations resulted in the conviction of 42 Canadian taxpayers for
> tax evasion with links to money and assets held offshore. In total,
> the $34 million in evaded taxes resulted in court fines of $12 million
> and 734 months of jail time.
>
> When deciding to pursue compliance actions through the courts, the CRA
> consults the Department of Justice Canada to choose an appropriate
> solution. Complex tax-related litigation is costly and time consuming,
> and the outcome may be unsuccessful. All options to recover amounts
> owed are considered.
>
> More specifically, in relation to the KPMG Isle of Man tax avoidance
> scheme, publicly available court records show that it is through the
> CRA’s efforts that the scheme was discovered. The CRA identified many
> of the participants and continues to actively pursue the matter. The
> CRA has also identified at least 10 additional tax structures on the
> Isle of Man, and is auditing taxpayers in relation to these
> structures.
>
> To ensure tax fairness, the CRA commissioned an independent review in
> March 2016 to determine if it had acted appropriately concerning KPMG
> and its clients. In her review, Ms. Kimberley Brooks, Associate
> Professor and former Dean of the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie
> University, examined the CRA’s operational processes and decisions in
> relation to the KPMG offshore tax structure and its efforts to obtain
> the names of all taxpayers participating in the scheme. Following this
> review, the report, released on May 5, 2016, concluded that the CRA
> had acted appropriately in its management of the KPMG Isle of Man
> file. The report found that the series of compliance measures the CRA
> took were in accordance with its policies and procedures. It was
> concluded that the procedural actions taken on the KPMG file were
> appropriate given the facts of this particular case and were
> consistent with the treatment of taxpayers in similar situations. The
> report concluded that actions by CRA employees were in accordance with
> the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct. There was no
> evidence of inappropriate interaction between KPMG and the CRA
> employees involved in the case.
>
> Under the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct, all CRA
> employees are responsible for real, apparent, or potential conflicts
> of interests between their current duties and any subsequent
> employment outside of the CRA or the Public Service of Canada.
> Consequences and corrective measures play an important role in
> protecting the CRA’s integrity.
>
> The CRA takes misconduct very seriously. The consequences of
> misconduct depend on the gravity of the incident and its repercussions
> on trust both within and outside of the CRA. Misconduct can result in
> disciplinary measures up to dismissal.
>
> All forms of tax evasion are illegal. The CRA manages the Informant
> Leads Program, which handles leads received from the public regarding
> cases of tax evasion across the country. This program, which
> coordinates all the leads the CRA receives from informants, determines
> whether there has been any non-compliance with tax law and ensures
> that the information is examined and conveyed, if applicable, so that
> compliance measures are taken. This program does not offer any reward
> for tips received.
>
> The new Offshore Tax Informant Program (OTIP) has also been put in
> place. The OTIP offers financial compensation to individuals who
> provide information related to major cases of offshore tax evasion
> that lead to the collection of tax owing. As of December 31, 2016, the
> OTIP had received 963 calls and 407 written submissions from possible
> informants. Over 218 taxpayers are currently under audit based on
> information the CRA received through the OTIP.
>
> With a focus on the highest-risk sectors nationally and
> internationally and an increased ability to gather information, the
> CRA has the means to target taxpayers who try to hide their income.
> For example, since January 2015, the CRA has been collecting
> information on all international electronic funds transfers (EFTs) of
> $10,000 or more ending or originating in Canada. It is also adopting a
> proactive approach by focusing each year on four jurisdictions that
> raise suspicion. For the Isle of Man, the CRA audited 3,000 EFTs
> totalling $860 million over 12 months and involving approximately 800
> taxpayers. Based on these audits, the CRA communicated with
> approximately 350 individuals and 400 corporations and performed 60
> audits.
>
> In January 2017, I reaffirmed Canada’s important role as a leader for
> tax authorities around the world in detecting the structures used for
> aggressive tax planning and tax evasion. This is why Canada works
> daily with the Joint International Tax Shelter Information Centre
> (JITSIC), a network of tax administrations in over 35 countries. The
> CRA participates in two expert groups within the JITSIC and leads the
> working group on intermediaries and proponents. This ongoing
> collaboration is a key component of the CRA’s work to develop strong
> relationships with the international community, which will help it
> refine the world-class tax system that benefits all Canadians.
>
> The CRA is increasing its efforts and is seeing early signs of
> success. Last year, the CRA recovered just under $13 billion as a
> result of its audit activities on the domestic and offshore fronts.
> Two-thirds of these recoveries are the result of its audit efforts
> relating to large businesses and multinational companies.
>
> But there is still much to do, and additional improvements and
> investments are underway.
>
> Tax cheats are having a harder and harder time hiding. Taxpayers who
> choose to promote or participate in malicious and illegal tax
> strategies must face the consequences of their actions. Canadians
> expect nothing less. I invite you to read my most recent statement on
> this matter at canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/
