Quebec bills

This private bill grants Ville de Rivière-du-Loup temporary powers until January 1, 2032, to conduct a study on the advisability of maintaining its ferry service and to exercise a right of pre-emption over three specific land parcels near the ferry site, in response to concerns about potential relocation of the ferry to another municipality.

This private bill grants a permanent property tax exemption to the Monastère des Ursulines de Québec once ownership is transferred from the Union canadienne des Moniales de l'Ordre de Sainte-Ursule to the Fiducie du patrimoine culturel des Ursulines, ensuring the heritage site's conversion project remains financially viable.

This private bill updates and replaces the outdated 1968 charter of Le Country Club de Montréal, continuing it as a legal non-profit company under modern Quebec law with updated governance and membership rules.

This Quebec bill creates a new Act to facilitate access to housing, establishing a centralized online portal for affordable and low-rental housing applications, new rules for allocating and leasing affordable housing units, and updates rules for student leases, divided co-ownership funds, and the Administrative Housing Tribunal.

This bill renews the 'notwithstanding clause' override provisions in Quebec's Charter of the French language and the 2022 French language law, shielding them from certain Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protections for another five-year period.

This Quebec bill officially designates the third Friday in October as National Homelessness Awareness Day, aligning with the existing Nuit des sans-abris event held annually since 1989.

This Quebec bill requires the government to set maximum patient-to-staff ratios for nurses, nursing assistants, and beneficiary attendants in hospital departments and long-term care centres, and establishes an advisory committee to guide and review those ratios.

This Quebec bill amends the Educational Childcare Act to establish a guaranteed right to receive childcare services, by removing existing limiting language in Section 2 of that Act. It would come into force five years after receiving assent.

This Quebec bill restricts subsidized educational childcare providers (CPEs and daycares) from hiring through for-profit staffing agencies or using independent contractors, generally limiting them to non-profit or cooperative placement agencies, while imposing new obligations on those permitted agencies.

This Quebec bill shifts organ and tissue donation from an opt-in to an opt-out system, meaning all adults are automatically presumed to have consented to donating their organs and tissues after death unless they have explicitly refused. It updates related registries and administrative processes to reflect this presumption of consent.

This Quebec bill amends the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms to make the right to a healthful environment with preserved biodiversity a fundamental right, removing the previous limitation that this right only applied to the extent provided by existing laws.

This Quebec bill requires all public schools and private educational institutions to install CO2 sensors and air exchangers or purifiers in every classroom, sets a maximum CO2 concentration limit of 1,000 ppm (800 ppm during a WHO-declared pandemic), and establishes reporting and public disclosure obligations for air quality data and equipment inspections.

This Quebec bill creates a formal framework for evaluating and potentially publicly funding complementary and integrative health approaches (such as acupuncture, chiropractic, physiotherapy, and similar practices) by establishing a new committee within INESSS, allowing these services to become insured under the Quebec Health Insurance Act, expanding research funding, and requiring financial support for university training programs in this field.

This Quebec bill requires employers in government-designated industries with 50 or more employees to establish joint parity committees focused on guiding their workplace toward an environmentally sustainable economy, with workers holding at least half the seats and the committee making recommendations on green jobs, carbon footprint reduction, employee retraining, and community engagement.

This Quebec bill replaces the existing natural gas storage and pipeline regulatory framework with a broader licensing regime covering exploration for, and operation or exploitation of, underground reservoirs and certain fluids (including hydrogen and carbon storage), while restricting pipeline authorization rules to oil pipelines only.

This Quebec bill creates a new class of quasi-judicial officers called 'special clerks' who support the Superior Court and Court of Québec in their adjudicative functions, establishing the rules for their appointment, qualifications, pay, ethics, and oversight.

This Quebec bill formally establishes a new category of subsidized home-based childcare — the 'responsable d'un service de garde éducatif en communauté' (RSGE en communauté) — by integrating it into the Act respecting educational childcare services. It also enacts a new law implementing the 2007 Hague Convention on the international recovery of child support and other forms of family maintenance.

Bill 11 is a broad Quebec regulatory reform bill that cuts red tape across dozens of industries by eliminating or relaxing hundreds of administrative requirements, reporting obligations, and permit conditions affecting businesses operating in Quebec.

This bill enacts a formal Constitution of Québec, establishes rules to protect Québec's constitutional autonomy from federal encroachment, and creates a new constitutional advisory council (Conseil constitutionnel). It also rewrites key institutional terminology across Québec law, replacing references to the Lieutenant-Governor and Conseil exécutif with Québec-specific equivalents.
