What was the result of Duplessis's pro-business policies?

  • Economic Decline

  • Tax Increase

  • Corruption

  • Mass Emigration

Answer

The rapid industrial growth resulting from Duplessis's policies led to widespread corruption, as businesses sought to influence the government and gain preferential treatment. Governmental favoritism and patronage became systemic, with close ties between politicians and powerful business interests fostering a culture of corruption that ultimately undermined the public trust and hindered the province's long-term economic development.
