QC-691: Bill 691: An Act respecting maintaining seniors’ autonomy

The businesses most likely to feel this bill's effects are those in Quebec's elder care and home support sector — think home care agencies, residential care operators, housing developers building adapted or accessible units, and community organizations serving seniors. Businesses providing home support services, palliative care, or adapted housing across all Quebec regions could face new demand pressures and eventual regulatory expectations as the government rolls out its action plan. Landlords renting to seniors may be affected by future rent regulation measures signalled in the bill. Financial institutions and pension plan administrators should also take note, as the strategy calls for protecting seniors against pension insolvency and introducing tax credits and financial assistance — though the specific mechanisms are left to future government action.
