Quebec faces backlash over proposing to enshrine abortion rights in its constitution, sparking legal concerns despite federal protection.
Pressure is mounting on Quebec Justice Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette to reconsider including abortion rights in the province’s proposed constitution, as critics warn the move could invite legal challenges despite abortion already being protected under federal law.
The consultation period has ended, with opposition parties, legal experts, and women’s rights advocates urging the government to focus on improving access to services rather than codifying the right in a new constitution.
While Jolin-Barrette acknowledged concerns during question period, he did not commit to removing the clause, though some CAQ members suggest a decision may come soon.
