Act to Promote Rural Electrification
Duplessis was concerned about the rural economy and population, he believed that Quebec's development depended on the agricultural sector, and he relied on the large number of voters in rural areas to help him win the next election. Therefore, he passed the Act to Promote Rural Electrification to modernize rural areas and farms. Ultimately, farms produced more electricity, stimulating economic development in the province.
