Montr\u00e9al \u2013 Le 7 mai 2026, Ana\u00efs Bussi\u00e8res McNicoll, Porte-parole Qu\u00e9bec et Directrice des Libert\u00e9s fondamentale \u00e0 l\u2019Association canadienne des libert\u00e9s civiles (ACLC), a fait la d\u00e9claration suivante :<\/p>\n

\u00ab L\u2019ACLC voit d\u2019un \u0153il favorable le d\u00e9p\u00f4t du Projet de loi 596, la Loi renfor\u00e7ant l\u2019int\u00e9grit\u00e9 et la protection des droits et libert\u00e9s de la personne<\/em>, qui limiterait l\u2019usage de la clause d\u00e9rogatoire par le gouvernement qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois.<\/p>\n

Bien qu\u2019il e\u00fbt \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9f\u00e9rable que cette proposition l\u00e9gislative sugg\u00e8re des balises plus serr\u00e9es, le d\u00e9p\u00f4t de ce projet de loi est un pas dans la bonne direction. Le Projet de loi 596 transporte devant l\u2019Assembl\u00e9e nationale un d\u00e9bat de soci\u00e9t\u00e9 urgent au sujet des p\u00e9rils auxquels la clause d\u00e9rogatoire expose notre r\u00e9gime qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois de protection des droits de la personne.<\/p>\n

Depuis plusieurs mois, l\u2019ACLC et d\u2019autres acteurs de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 civile qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise tels que le Barreau du Qu\u00e9bec et la Ligue des droits et libert\u00e9s sonnent l\u2019alarme au sujet de l\u2019usage croissant et pr\u00e9ventif de la clause d\u00e9rogatoire par le gouvernement du Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n

Loin d\u2019\u00eatre un outil n\u00e9cessaire pour prot\u00e9ger le caract\u00e8re distinct du Qu\u00e9bec au sein du Canada, cette clause permet plut\u00f4t au gouvernement de priver, sans justification, certain.es Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois.es de droits humains de base.<\/p>\n

La mont\u00e9e de r\u00e9gimes autoritaires dans le monde, y compris le rapide effondrement de la d\u00e9mocratie \u00e9tats-unienne, confirme l\u2019importance de protections robustes pour les droits de la personne. Or, notre soci\u00e9t\u00e9 qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise n\u2019est pas r\u00e9ellement libre et d\u00e9mocratique si nos gouvernements peuvent impun\u00e9ment bafouer certains de nos droits les plus importants.<\/p>\n

L\u2019ACLC continuera de militer pour l\u2019ajout de balises serr\u00e9es \u00e0 l\u2019usage de la clause d\u00e9rogatoire. \u00bb<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Montreal \u2013 On 7 May 2026, Ana\u00efs Bussi\u00e8res McNicoll, Quebec spokesperson and director of Fundamental Freedoms for the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA), issued the following statement: \u201cThe CCLA welcomes...","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":11661,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[252,79,31,248,8],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-12127","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-democratic-emergency-in-quebec","8":"category-democratic-rights","9":"category-fundamental-freedoms","10":"category-notwithstanding-clause","11":"category-press-release"},"yoast_head":"\nCCLA responds to the introduction of Bill 596, which would limit the use of the notwithstanding clause in Quebec -
