Radio One: The Saturday Edition April 5: In the fourth edition, Reality Check looks at one of the issues neglected in this campaign: the environment. Also: a look at how the "Children of Bill 101" are voting. Listen to the program. [Runs: 20:29]  Reality Check: Environment We take a look at one of the issues that hasn't made many waves during this campaign: the environment. Just what are the parties promising? Have voters been lulled into a sense of complacency on environmental issues? Loreen Pindera went looking for some answers. [Runs: 7:52] Reality Check: Second-generation immigrants Are the "Children of Bill 101" more likely to be Quebec sovereignists than other generations of immigrants? Just how accurate is former Quebec Premier Jacques Parizeau's view that Bill 101 is turning relative newcomers into staunch PQ supporters? Reporter Jacklin Lu went to find out. [Runs: 4:37] March 29: In the third edition, Reality check looks at taxes. Listen to the program. [Runs: 22:42] Reality Check: Taxes I Taxes. Quebecers pay a higher rate than anyone else in North America. The Liberals are promising Quebec families a big tax break. The Action Démocratique du Québec party says tax breaks will come second to debt reduction. The Parti Québécois says Quebec can't afford a further reduction in taxes for at least the next few years. Loreen Pindera takes a closer look at the alternatives. [Runs: 7:25] Reality Check: Taxes II To help you decipher the parties' position on taxes and understand where you stand, Laurent Lavigne spoke to Jack Stein, a tax partner with the Montreal accounting firm Richter, Usher, Vineberg. [Runs: 5:18] March 22: In the second edition, Reality Check looks at polls. Listen to the program. [Runs 23:56] Reality Check: Rolling-Poll I Never before have there been so many polls gauging the mood of Quebecers in an election campaign. Every morning the Journal de Montréal and the Montreal Gazette are publishing the latest "voter tendencies" in a so-called 'rolling poll,' compiled by Léger Marketing. Do we need so many polls? How much do they tell us, anyway? Loreen Pindera looks at the polls. [Runs 7:50] Reality Check: Rolling-Poll II Alain Dubuc is the publisher of le Soleil. Laurent Lavigne spoke to him about the importance of polls. [Runs 3:49] March 15: In the first edition, Loreen Pindera goes behind the "family friendly" headlines to find out what the three main parties are offering Quebec families. Listen to the program. [Runs 21:52] Reality Check: Reconciling work and family Three days into this election campaign, that issue has taken centre-stage. All three major parties list "help for families" as a key priority. Just what are they promising? And are those promises realistic? CBC Radio reporter Loreen Pindera examines that question. [Runs 7:26] Reality Check: Reduced Work Week The issue of a reduced work week has surfaced as perhaps the most contentious so far in this election campaign. Mary Dean Lee is a professor of organizational behaviour at McGill University. She is studying how organizations adapt to reduced workload arrangements. CBC Radio reporter Loreen Pindera began by asking her if the option of a reduced work week has been legislated anywhere else. [Runs 4:12]
