CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM MUST BE “BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE”

TALQ warns that without broad consultation and consensus, CAQ’s constitution cannot be legitimate

MONTREAL, October 9, 2025 – Premier François Legault’s proposal for a Quebec Constitution has raised widespread skepticism across the political spectrum and concern within the English-speaking community of Quebec.

“This feels more like a political manoeuvre than a genuine effort to strengthen democracy,” says Eva Ludvig, TALQ President. “Quebecers are grappling with serious challenges in health care, education, housing, and the cost of living. Reopening constitutional debates risks dividing Quebecers and distracting from urgent priorities.”
