Three notable commitments he has made if he has a voice in government:
Push to amend Bill 96 to remove the Notwithstanding Clause which would allow the legislation to be challenged in court, remove caps on the number of students that can be admitted to anglophone CEGEPs and remove restrictions on immigrants receiving government services in English, among other things.
Fortin advocates for several measures to recruit and retain healthcare professionals in the Outaouais, which includes increasing the salary of nurses, offering them guaranteed daycare spots and ending mandatory overtime, among other things.
Fortin also specifically pledged to advocate that anglophone students be allowed to attend École primaire Ste-Marie in Otter Lake, instead of being bused all the way to Shawville in order to both reduce pressure on the schools in Shawville and prevent needless long distance travel for families in Otter Lake.
