An Authority in Fundamental Contradiction with Needs of a Modern Quebec

agenda of CAQ government at their congress, Gatineau, September 27, 2025
The Quebec National
Assembly is convoked anew on September 30 after
being prorogued by Premier Legault using his prerogative powers. The
parliamentary session was scheduled to resume on September 16 after the
summer break, but the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ)
government used the
royal
prerogative accorded by the Canadian Constitution to push a reset
button. This, Legault calculates, was much needed due to the high level
of opposition to the anti-worker, anti-national, warmongering agenda
his government has been pushing. With the fixed election date set for
October 2026, Legault
is showing evidence of crass opportunism, launching his election
campaign as of now, as if this will make a difference to how Quebeckers
view his nation-wrecking agenda.
On September 10, Legault carried out a cabinet reshuffle, which amounted to a shell game to try to dissociate ministers from the anti-social, anti-people, anti-worker, and anti-national policies they implemented over the past three years. This is particularly evident in the case of Bernard Drainville, who is moving from Education to Environment. Drainville presided over a rapid deterioration in teaching and learning conditions, to the point where there was still a shortage of 4,000 teachers two weeks before the start of the school year. Or France-Élaine Duranceau, associated with the adoption of laws favoring real estate developers and who presided over the worsening of the housing crisis in Quebec, now moving from Housing to "Government Efficiency." Given the cutbacks to social programs, this is a scornful name for a government ministry if ever there was one.
When Legault's new cabinet was sworn in, the premier presented his plan with the ominous narrative which has become standard in government circles all over the neo-liberal world to justify what cannot be justified. "Since October 2018, the world has changed profoundly. We have gone through crises, immigration explosions, and protectionism" and "the situation is not going to change in the short term with Mr. Trump's tariffs." In this context, he concluded, "we must redesign Quebec's economy" and "create a whole new vision of Quebec's economy for future generations."
This
tells the people of Quebec that the National Assembly will be used to
intensify the government's all-out offensive to pay the rich in the
name of high ideals, accelerate the sell-off of natural resources,
militarize the economy and restructure the state to accommodate narrow
private
interests. They can also expect the state to step up the use of its
police powers to deprive Quebec workers and people of their right to
fight for their demands and express their right to conscience.
Since Legault came to power, his cutbacks, privatization and sell-out of resources have been met with protests, demonstrations, strikes and resistance initiatives of all kinds as the people speak out in their own name to fight for the Quebec they want and need. They are demanding their right to have a say in everything that concerns them and their right to decide.
Legault's priorities for the coming year:
- clean up the civil service with "shock treatment;"
-
"modernize the union system;"
- focus on law and order to
"tackle the scourges of society with greater determination;"
-
"protect the identity" and public services of Quebec "threatened by the
explosion of immigration;"
- review environmental regulations
to reduce approval times for certain economic projects.
What
this all amounts to is making sure laws are in place which make it
illegal for the people to protest and lay their claims on the economy
and society. It is a plan designed to eliminate the remaining obstacles
to the sellout of Quebec to private interests; ensure the government
cannot be held accountable for dilapidated public buildings related to
social programs -- especially in education and health care -- in favour
of more privatization. Silencing of unions, workers and various
collectives demanding their rights is on the agenda. Eliminating
environmental protection standards and agencies and the existing
mechanisms for awarding contracts in all sectors is taking place. All
of it in lock-step with Mark Carney's federal government and its Bill
C-5 to eliminate environmental restrictions on "projects of national
interest" through a legal and political offensive against all those who
defend the environment and call for action to mitigate the climate
crisis.
But facts are
stubborn things. The main fact Legault cannot overcome
is that Quebeckers are a people who have never been afraid to stand up
for what belongs to them by right. To "modernize the union system," the
Legault government has already passed Bill 89, An Act to
give greater
consideration to the needs of the population in the event of a strike
or a lock-out, and Bill 100, An
Act respecting the negotiation and determination of conditions of
employment requiring national coordination in particular in the public
and parapublic sector. Attempts to silence the
voice of the people by making it illegal are truly pathetic. This only
further discredits what are called the liberal democratic institutions.
Trying to force Quebec's human productive forces to submit to
unacceptable conditions under the pretext of defending the "public
interest" will meet with
even more resistance and scorn as the working class and people unleash
their creativity in finding new ways to organize and prevail.
A final plank in Legault's plan is for an identity card to clearly label who is a citizen, a resident and another category which qualifies people as illegitimate in some way or another. Blaming a section of the polity for all the problems in health, education, housing, and work is not only self-serving and irrational; it is cowardly.
Saying he is motivated "by his love for the people," Legault concluded his presentation.
The coming year is sure to further smash Legault's conception of who comprises the Quebec people as defined by the state, at a time the people are determined to define the state and empower themselves to become the decision-makers in the process. The agenda of the people is for Quebec to stop paying the rich and increase investments in social programs, and to renew the political process so that the people are vested with the power to decide on all matters that concern their lives.

congress, Gatineau, September 27, 2025
Cabinet Reshuffle and Anti-Social Mandates
The Legault
government presented its new Cabinet on Wednesday,
September 10, during a swearing-in ceremony, followed by the
presentation of the antisocial mandates with which he has entrusted the
ministers.
First, in addition to being Premier, François Legault is the minister responsible for the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region. During his speech, he specifically stated that he was appointing ministers for each region of Quebec. "We must take care of every worker and every business. And that's why I appointed ministers who will be 100 per cent responsible on the ground in all regions, to meet with workers, SMEs [small and medium-sized enterprises], all those who are experiencing difficulties, and to connect them, among other things, with the Quebec Regional Investment Program."
No one in Quebec will believe that François Legault wants to "take care of every worker," unless of course by "take care" he means eliminating or silencing. Assigning responsibility for the regions to people with significant powers is part of government restructuring to give the Legault government and the ministers the power to usurp decision-making and better serve private interests. Ministers will be "on the ground" to do this.
France-Elaine Duranceau was appointed Minister responsible for Government Administration and State Efficiency and President of the Treasury Board, replacing Sonia LeBel. She was relieved of her duties as Minister of Housing, having been vigorously criticized for her Bill 31, An Act to Amend Various Legislative Provisions Relating to Housing, and the measures she took, which only worsened the housing crisis while facilitating the further enrichment of big housing developers.
The mandate François Legault gave her is clear: efficiency is required. "We must do nothing less than get out of the current system, get out of this straitjacket, and cut deep into the bureaucracy." The new President of the Treasury Board will be responsible for ensuring that the bureaucracy is cleaned up in each department, and she will have my 100 per cent support."
Bernard
Drainville, who was Minister of Education since 2022, was moved to the
Environment, replacing Benoît Charette. In education,
Drainville
provoked the ire of teachers and education workers by further removing
them from any decision-making power and slashing all the resources they
need to
educate the younger generation. His mandate is to "clean up"
environmental assessment processes.
François Legault gave him the following mandate: "A special effort must be made in a ministry: the environment [...] we can no longer block development with delays that make no sense, that are interminable. The new Minister of the Environment will be responsible for thoroughly cleaning up the deadlines; he will be responsible for thoroughly reviewing the plan for a green economy, in the new North American context we are familiar with and the concrete priorities of Quebecers."
Martine Biron will be the new Minister of Higher Education. She was Minister of International Affairs and was repeatedly denounced for her open support of the Zionist regime in Israel. She defended her position of keeping open the Quebec office in Israel for alleged business purposes, praising the Netanyahu government as the most democratic government in the Middle East. Such an office is still necessary, she claimed, because "it is the gateway to the Middle East."
Biron replaces Pascale Déry, erstwhile Minister of Higher Education, who had also provoked the ire of college and university students, teachers, and administrators, notably with her interference in course content on Palestine. Pascale Déry becomes Minister of Employment.
Public Security Minister François Bonnardel has been removed from the cabinet. He is replaced by Ian Lafrenière, who is already Minister responsible for Relations with First Nations and Inuit. Law and order will be in charge.
The ministers remaining in their current positions are:
- Christian Dubé, Minister of Health
- Eric Girard, Minister of Finance
- Christine Fréchette, Minister of Economy, Innovation and Energy
- Jean-François Roberge, Minister of Immigration, Francisation and Integration, Minister of the French Language, Minister responsible for the Canadian Francophonie, Minister responsible for Secularism, Minister responsible for Democratic Institutions, Minister responsible for Access to Information and the Protection of Personal Information
- Simon Jolin-Barrette, Minister of Justice, and Minister responsible for Canadian Relations and House Leader
- Gilles Bélanger, Minister of Cybersecurity and Digital Affairs
- Jean Boulet, Minister of Labour, Minister for the Mauricie Region
- Mathieu Lacombe, Minister of Culture and Communications, Minister for the Outaouais Region
- Ian Lafrenière, Minister of First Nations and Inuit Affairs, Minister of Security Minister of Public Services and Minister for the Nord-du-Québec Region
- Lionel Carmant, Minister of Social Services and Minister responsible for the Montérégie Region
- Isabelle Charest, Minister responsible for Sports, Recreation and Outdoor Activities, Minister responsible for the Estrie Region

Unacceptable Laws Passed by
National Assembly
Montreal May Day action
2025
The prorogation of the National Assembly on September 10 ended the first parliamentary session of the 43rd legislature, which began after the October 2022 election. The prorogation means that bills pending at the end of the first session in June are now defunct. However, the National Assembly may decide to bring some of them back when the new session opens on September 30, which is likely to be the case for several bills that are key to the ongoing restructuring of the state in favour of narrow private interests.
Here are some of the significant bills that were passed, some under closure, others in a very short period of time, during the first session of the 43rd legislature, and some of the defunct bills that are likely to return to the agenda of the new session.
Bills Passed Before June 6
Bill 57, An Act to enact the Act to protect elected municipal officers and to facilitate the unhindered exercise of their functions and to amend various legislative provisions concerning municipal affairs, was introduced on April 10, 2024, and passed unanimously two months later, on June 6, 2024.
The bill contains 56 pages and amends 27 statutes, including the National Assembly Act and the Quebec Election Act. The bill "introduces the possibility for an elected municipal officer or a Member of the National Assembly who, due to being an elected officer, is the subject of comments or actions that unduly hinder the exercise of their functions or invade their privacy, to apply to the Superior Court for an injunction to put an end to the situation." The Superior Court may now prohibit people from appearing at municipal councils or the constituency office of an elected official, from communicating with the latter, and from disseminating in public spaces statements that constitute "threats, harassment and intimidation."
Quebec's political police therefore now have new powers to intervene against people who demonstrate in front of the offices of National Assembly members or municipal elected officials, or who send letters, launch petitions or write about them, as such actions are considered attacks on Quebec values and the interests of the state. This is a blatant extension of dictatorial powers against freedom of expression and the right of the people to act to defend their rights and those of all.

National Assembly against Bill 69, June 6, 2025
Bill 69: An Act to ensure responsible governance of energy resources and to amend various legislative provisions, was introduced on June 6, 2024, by Pierre Fitzgibbon, the former super minister of the Economy, Innovation, and Energy, who has since resigned. It was pursued by the new "super minister," Christine Fréchette. It was passed on June 6, 2025, by a vote of 63 to 31 and received Royal Assent on June 7.
The Act privatizes Hydro-Québec by:
- imposing the $5 billion TES Canada/Power Corporation wind farm project in the Mauricie, which is widely rejected by the local population;
- privatizing public hydroelectric dams that produce up to 100 megawatts (MW) of electricity;
- privatizing the electricity distribution system by legalizing the sale of one private company to another private company. Privatization through share ownership by creating new private legal entities, such as the Éoliens des neiges wind farm project and the 3,000 MW project at Lac St-Jean announced by Michael Sabia, new President and CEO of Hydro-Québec. (After achieving this dirty deed, Sabia resigned and, on July 7, 2025, he became the 26th clerk of the Privy Council established by Mark Carney.)
The bill privatizing Hydro-Québec was denounced by Hydro-Québec workers, dozens of organizations and those who stand up for a healthy environment and, more broadly, those who are concerned about the need for a new direction for the economy which serves the people and the future of Quebec.

Bill 81, An Act to amend various provisions relating to the environment, was introduced in November 2024 by Benoît Charette, Minister of the Environment, Fight Against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks, and it received Royal Assent on May 28, 2025.
Bill 81 is characterized by the vast discretionary power it grants the Minister of the Environment in the name of efficiency. In one fell swoop, it modifies thirteen existing laws and one regulation, including the main law governing environmental protection and the fight against climate change in Quebec.
The bill introduces several loopholes to existing protection systems. Increased power is conferred on the Minister of the Environment, allowing him to authorize preliminary work on a project with significant environmental impacts before environmental assessments have been completed. The minister will be able to set aside all or part of the current regulations and intervene more readily through regulations and decrees.
A company could therefore begin building roads or temporary housing for its workers before its project has been reviewed by the Public Hearings Office on Environment (BAPE).

Bill 89: An Act to give greater consideration to the needs of the population in the event of a strike or lockout, was introduced on February 19 by Labor Minister Jean Boulet and passed on May 30, 2025.
This anti-worker bill is the product of the servility of the Quebec and Canadian elites, who put all the nation's resources at the service of the U.S. war machine. Canadian rulers are determined to remove all hindrances to U.S. dictate on "economic security." Workers expressed their opposition through many actions and demanded the immediate withdrawal of the bill. Premier Legault argued that the problem was the unions, and the bill was passed. Only the representatives of the CAQ and the Quebec Liberal Party voted in favor.

Bill 92, An Act to amend various provisions mainly with respect to the financial sector, was tabled on April 8 by Éric Girard, Minister of Finance, and received Royal Assent on June 4. Tabled as part of the ongoing restructuring to serve private interests, it is a 48-page document that amends 25 laws.
Demonstration
in Blainville, September 13, 2025, opposing expansion of toxic waste
dump run by U.S. firm Stablex. The passage of Bill 93 authorized the
expropriation of city land to be sold to Stablex for
this
expansion.
Bill 93, An Act respecting, in particular, the transfer of ownership of a building in Ville de Blainville (STABLEX), was introduced on February 27 by the Minister of Natural Resources and Forests Maïté Blanchette Vézina and passed under closure on March 27, a month after it was tabled.
This
bill forced the City of Blainville to sell its land to the Quebec
government, which then allowed the private U.S. company, Stablex, to
use it for the disposal of hazardous waste. The land is an important
natural peat bog. The Minister of the Environment refused to meet with
municipal
officials, and the Superior Court rejected the City of Blainville's
request for an injunction to suspend the expropriation. The land ceded
to Stablex in exchange for $17 million "in compensation" seriously
threatens a formerly protected and fragile ecosystem. The land includes
nine hectares of
wetlands and 58 hectares of woodlands.
Bill 93 "contradicts metropolitan regulations, the BAPE's recommendation, the will of municipal authorities, and the will of the citizens of Blainville," wrote the mayor of Blainville in an open letter to the government. It meets only one need, she wrote: "the desire of a U.S. company to get its hands on public land for private -- and foreign -- interests." Even after the adoption through closure, hundreds of residents demonstrated in front of the site.
According to an investigation by the Journal de Montréal, 17 sites in Quebec receive hazardous waste from the United States, including Stablex in Blainville. Between 2018 and 2022, Quebec received 58 per cent of all hazardous waste imported into Canada from the United States, with Stablex processing nearly 50 per cent of it.
A demonstration was held in Blainville on September 13 to denounce the destructive activities of the U.S. giant Stablex. Numerous organizations in the region were involved, expressing the broad opposition of the people to the bill, including the Coalition of Blainville Citizens Against Stablex Cell 6, the environmental organizations Écothèque and Réseau Demain le Québec.
Blainville, September

Bill 98, An Act to amend the Election Act mainly to preserve the integrity of the electoral process, was tabled on April 3 by the Minister of Democratic Institutions, Jean-François Roberge, unanimously adopted on May 29. It received Royal Assent on May 30.
The proposed
changes to the Election Act
aim to further restrict Quebeckers' participation in the political life
of the country, at a time when the role of the people is already
reduced to that of spectators of the cartel parties over which they
exercise no control.
Among other things, it introduces the concept of pre-election spending
by political parties and "third parties," setting a pre-election period
of three months for political parties and ten months for third
parties. This is not only egregious but particularly contemptuous given
that with the new
National Assembly, the Legault government is in fact beginning its
election campaign unimpeded as of September 30, 2025.
According to the terms of the amended electoral law, state interference in the affairs of political parties increases. It is not the parties and the people of Quebec who can freely engage in political discourse, but the Chief Electoral Officer of Quebec (DGE) who is now mandated by law to ensure that elected cartel parties control political discourse in Quebec. He assumes the role of watchdog with police powers, contrary to the role electoral bodies are understood to carry out within liberal democracies to administer elections in a neutral manner. The measures fit the description of what the ruling elites call totalitarian and authoritarian.
Bill 100, An Act respecting the negotiation and determination of conditions of employment requiring national coordination in particular in the public and parapublic sectors, was tabled on April 23, 2025, by Sonia LeBel, Minister responsible for Government Administration and Chair of the Treasury Board and received Royal Assent on June 6, 2025.
The bill is geared to the eventual repeal of the Act respecting the collective agreement bargaining system in the public and parapublic sectors. It gives the President of the Treasury Board full authority to develop and implement a comprehensive national strategy. While certain working conditions are currently negotiated and approved at the local or regional level, such as schedules and work organization, other aspects are negotiated at the national level, such as compensation. The bill will now allow for the possibility of negotiating all of these elements at a central table where the government dictates acceptable parameters.
Bills Likely to Make It Back on Agenda
Montreal demonstration against
anti-social offensive in education, September 7, 2025
Bill 94, An Act to, in particular, reinforce laicity in the education network and to amend various legislative provisions, introduced on March 20, 2025, by the Minister of Education, Bernard Drainville.
The bill is an attack on the freedom of conscience of education workers in elementary and secondary schools and the students who attend them. The spirit behind it is that the serious crisis in the education system is due to the behavior of teachers and that the minister needs more power to dictate all the tasks and actions of school professionals and staff. Among other things, it uses language and religion as a pretext. Muslim teachers and education workers who wear scarves which cover their head or face are especially targeted.
These scarves are considered religious symbols which teachers are currently prohibited from wearing. The bill seeks to extend this ban to all school staff, including support staff and contract workers. The bill also includes measures such as banning the wearing of full veils by students and staff.
The bill also proposes to impose the exclusive use of French in professional communications within French-language school service centres. This targets school staff and especially immigrant families who do not have sufficient command of French and need to communicate in their own language to understand how the school functions.
In addition, under the pretext of improving accountability in the school system, the bill introduces mandatory annual evaluations of all teachers -- including permanent staff on the basis of criteria of its own choosing. The current evaluation is at the discretion of school administrators or local agreements. The bill aims to standardize one process throughout Quebec, concentrating more power in the hands of the ministry to define evaluation criteria.
School staff have more than 30 years of experience with the neo-liberal anti-social offensive in their sector and the racism and discrimination against Muslims, refugees, and others. It is thanks to their struggles in defense of teaching and learning conditions that the interests of the student youth and their families are defended. There is strong opposition to the direction imposed by the government which aims to divide people while paying the rich private corporations and continually diminishing the amount of money that is invested in the public system.

Bill 97, An Act mainly to modernize the forest regime, was tabled on April 23 by the Minister of Natural Resources and Forests, Maïté Blanchette Vézina
However, on September 25 Premier Legault announced that the bill will not be re-introduced on the agenda of the new legislative session starting September 30. That is because Bill 97, especially the part creating "priority forest management zones," has met with determined opposition from all sectors of Quebec society, starting with the Indigenous Peoples, those who defend the environment and forest workers, but also a large segment of industry owners. The forestry industry in Quebec has the particularity of having a large section that is monopolized and foreign owned but also numerous local companies. The persistence with which the Legault government has pushed this reform despite all opposition indicates that the bill will reappear in one form or another, with many believing it will be brought back next spring.
This reform which appears to be in cahoots with the Carney government's scams to fast track infrastructure projects which serve private interests and double the number of houses built using Canadian resources, is retrogressive from A to Z. A significant setback in terms of several achievements in forest management, it gives the forestry industry free rein at the expense of biodiversity conservation and public consultation. The bill prohibits the creation of protected areas over a large part of the territory and allows logging in conservation areas. In addition, the designation of priority forest management areas is not subject to public consultation in the same way as protected areas.
The
bill makes no mention of the goal of protecting 30 per cent of the
territory by 2030 and proposes a retreat from the historic commitment
to protect 50 per cent of the territory under the Northern Plan. If
adopted in its present form, the proposed new forest regime takes us
back to a time when
the forestry industry ruled the province in favour of private interests
to the detriment of the people and the natural environment. At a time
wildfires are raging due to government approved private sector control
of forestry, the provisions of Bill 97 seriously compromise the goals
of protecting the
people and the territory.
Under Bill 97, the forestry industry would once again be responsible for planning logging operations, as was the case before the Coulombe Commission. Held in 2004, the Commission essentially recommended that Quebec no longer only be concerned with the renewal of commercial wood species, but that the exploitation of forests as a whole be subject to the protection of ecosystems as a priority.
Bill 97 reverses this policy and divests itself of the responsibility for public consultations on the areas to be logged in favour of whatever private concerns decide to do.
Biologist Pier-Olivier Boudreault of the Society for Nature and Parks (SNAP Québec) said, "It's like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse. The forestry industry cannot be responsible for arbitrating the different uses of Quebec's public forests. Who will ultimately be accountable?"
It is the numerous demonstrations organized across Quebec to oppose the bill that forced the government to abandon it. Legault has instructed his new Minister of Natural Resources and Forests, Jean-François Simard, to "start from scratch," out of opportunism and in an attempt to break the opposition movement, hoping to see the Indigenous communities lift their blockades, particularly in Haute-Mauricie and Lac-Saint-Jean. Meanwhile, the private sector is getting impatient waiting for a new bill. Regardless, it's clear the people won't accept whatever comes next either.

Bill 101, An Act to improve certain labor laws, was tabled on April 24 by Labor Minister Jean Boulet.
The bill is an all-out attack on the health and safety of workers. It amends several laws, including the Act respecting industrial accidents and occupational diseases, those concerning labor standards, occupational health and safety, and the administrative tribunal, imposing new arrangements on Quebec workers. With regard to financial statements, the bill seeks, among other things, to require labor unions to present their members with financial statements audited in accordance with accounting principles and to make them available to members. In the name of transparency, it viciously blames the workers' unions for the corruption the government administered programs are known for.
Bill 106, An Act mainly to establish collective responsibility and accountability of physicians with respect to improvement of access to medical services, was introduced by Health Minister Christian Dubé on May 6.
With Bill 106, the Legault government claims it will be able to offer access to a family doctor to all Quebeckers by the fall of 2026. It proposes to do so by subjecting general practitioners to "collective responsibility," without providing them with the necessary resources and without taking responsibility for all the failures of the health care system. It claims to accomplish "collective responsibility" by grouping all individuals eligible for medical services in a given territory into a "practice environment" where insured services are offered, and then making all physicians who are part of that "practice environment" responsible for the care of all these individuals without sufficient resources to do so.
The Minister of Health will have the power to "establish, by regulation, the methods of remuneration for health professionals" and the terms governing taking "charge of an insured person and the related obligations." The Minister, without input from either doctors, health professionals or the public, will decide on the "quotas" for the care of the most vulnerable people, who require more attention, and those who require less care.
Doctors will now be remunerated on a capitation basis, meaning remuneration will be based on the number of patients assigned to each doctor or group of doctors. This replaces the fee-for-service basis which was already dictated by the Ministry without consultation. There will also be a "collective supplement" which is to "take into account the achievement of the objective" -- the objective being the requirement to see as many patients as possible within a given time frame. Targets set will be national, regional, or local, and "it is up to the national, territorial and local medical collectives composed of those physicians to implement the means to achieve those objectives." It will be up to the doctors belonging to a given medical entity to decide how to divide the so-called collective supplement among themselves.
Bill 112, An Act to facilitate the trade of goods and the mobility of labour from the other provinces and the territories of Canada, was introduced on May 30 by Christopher Skeete, Minister for the Economy. This is the same type of bill that gives executive powers to the Quebec government, just like Bill 69 to privatize Hydro-Québec, which was passed under closure, and Mark Carney's federal Bill C-5. Bill C-5 passed using closure on June 21.
