Projet de Loi No 1/Bill 1
Enclosed is a Brief in Response to Bill 1 – Québec Constitution Act, 2025, which was prepared by Seniors Action Québec and presented on 24 November 2025, to the Committee on Institutions -Government of Québec.
Summary :
Bill 1, as written, would marginalize the legacy and contributions of English-speaking seniors. The right to receive services in English, to rely on English versions of legislation and official documents with equal assurance, access employment and to remain engaged members of one’s community is not a peripheral issue – it is fundamental to one’s dignity, health, autonomy and quality of life.
Bill 1 would erode the legal protections, institutional supports, employment opportunities, and essential services that English-speaking seniors depend on to age with dignity and remain active contributors to Québec society.
Bill 1 lacks democratic legitimacy and should be withdrawn.
