La Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec's Strategic Mastery
In the heart of the Quiet Revolution, Quebec boldly asserted its economic autonomy by establishing the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) on July 15, 1965, through an act of the National Assembly under Premier Jean Lesage. This institutional investor was born to manage funds from the newly created Quebec Pension Plan (QPP), a provincial counterpart to the Canada Pension Plan that ensured retirement security for Quebecers outside federal oversight.
