To sign this petition, you must complete 3 steps:
You may sign a petition only once.
WHEREAS , on October 9, 2025, the government unveiled Bill No. 1 , a constitutional bill, without an electoral mandate and without prior citizen consultation;
CONSIDERING THAT all opposition parties rejected this bill as soon as it was tabled in the National Assembly, a rare gesture and indicative of its lack of legitimacy;
WHEREAS the Quebec Bar Association has publicly denounced the erosion of checks and balances and the serious risks to the rule of law that this bill entails, among other things;
WHEREAS the general architecture of this bill imposes a hierarchy of rights and weakens existing protections, particularly in the area of reproductive rights;
WHEREAS any constitutional project must be the subject of genuine consultation with First Nations and Inuit and may in no way infringe upon ancestral and treaty rights;
CONSIDERING THAT the writing and adoption of a constitution reflect the interests of those who write it, these processes cannot be partisan and imposed by the parliamentary majority, but must be part of a truly consultative, constituent, open, non-partisan and democratic process;
We, the undersigned, call on the Quebec government to immediately withdraw Bill No. 1
