The director of our Fundamental Freedoms program, Anaïs Bussières McNicoll, appeared before a parliamentary committee yesterday to sound the alarm about Quebec’s Bill 1.

Its content is equally problematic: it undermines the rule of law in Quebec, muzzles checks and balances, and erodes Quebec’s system of protection of rights and freedoms.
