Retract Quebec's Bill 96 to Uphold Minority Rights and Constitutional Freedom

Retract Quebec's Bill 96 to Uphold Minority Rights and Constitutional Freedom

The Issue

Picture this pressing situation: A man of 81 years, recently widowed, and suffering from dementia is forced to navigate an unpredictable future, all because his late wife's Last Will was written in English. The state considers this to be irregular due to the constraints imposed by Quebec's controversial Bill 96. Consequently, he cannot access the value of his own inherited property, a means that could otherwise have assured his peaceful living in a residential home. He is stuck, but he is not alone. Thousands of minorities in Quebec share the same fate, their voices silenced by the stringent Bill 96. This regulation dictates that all essential services and legal documents will only be made available in French - an unfortunate attempt to ignore our constitutional rights as Canadian citizens. Our pleas to leaders have been met with silence, and our rights to express our voices have been ignored. By calling for the abolishment of Bill 96, we stand for every vulnerable individual who would otherwise be marginalized or unheard. We strive to restore our Constitutional Rights and hope to create an inclusive Quebec where every citizen is regarded with dignity and respect, unfettered by the language they speak. Today, we implore you to stand with us. Sign this petition and let us, together, call upon our leaders to uphold the basic rights of minorities in Quebec and repeal Bill 96.
