History

Answer:

The Quiet Revolution is a time of intense, rapid social and political change experienced in Québec, Canada in the 1960s.

Explanation:

This revolution saw the efforts made by Jean Lesage's Liberal Government and Robert Bourassa at times. The changes brought about had a profound effect. Since the 1960s, most provincial governments have emplaced the core concepts developed and implemented during the revolution. During that period, the provincial government took direct control over healthcare and education arenas. The Ministries of Health and Education were formed. The government also expanded public service, made huge investments in provincial infrastructure and the public education system and allowed unionization of the civil service. Further, it took steps to enhance Québécois control over the province's economy and nationalize electricity production and distribution. Hydro-Québec was formed to nationalize Québec's electric companies. The government established the Canada/Québec Pension Plan. The Quiet Revolution was a byproduct of Canada's 20-year post-war expansion. It was also a consequence of Québec's position to be the leading province for more than a century before and after Confederation. These changes also extended beyond Québec's borders due to their influence on contemporary Canadian politics.

How did the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) benefit the US economy?
LenKa [72]

The NAFTA agreement benefits the US economy because it creates a free trade zone that comprises the territories of the US, Canada and Mexico. Outside the US borders but inside this zone, US products compete in equal conditions with the domestic production respectively in the Canadian and Mexican markets, enhancing US exports and total GDP.

Moreover, it also allows products from these two countries to enter the US markets and to compete in equal conditions with the domestic producers, which at first might be regarded as a drawback but it is not, because stronger competition forces US producers to keep on investing money on innovation and improvements in order to beat their rivals and attract consumers. Through this process, competition leads to more efficient industries which are able to produce at a lower cost. Finally, consumers are benefited too because they can acquire products at a cheaper market price.
