Quebec government to enforce energy bill passage via bâillon
Monday, June 2, 2025, 12:21 pm
Quebec officials are forcing the energy legislation through by imposing a silent approval measure, with critics decrying the lack of debate. The move is seen as an effort to expedite energy reforms while sidelining dissent from opposition voices.
Le chef libéral intérimaire, Marc Tanguay, n’a pas non plus manqué de critiquer ce projet de loi.
Tout porte à croire que le gouvernement va forcer l’adoption par bâillon du projet de loi 69 sur l’énergie, affirme le Parti libéral du Québec (PLQ). La session parlementaire se termine vendredi.
