Summary
Bill 13, introduced by Quebec's Minister of Public Security Ian Lafrenière, is a provincial law aimed at improving public safety and making people feel safer in their communities. It amends several existing Quebec laws to achieve these goals, though the full text of the specific provisions is not available in the provided source material. The bill went through the full legislative process at the National Assembly of Quebec, including public consultations, adoption in principle, detailed clause-by-clause review, and a final vote. It received assent on April 2, 2026, and came into force the same day, with some exceptions. It was passed by a majority vote. Because this is a provincial Quebec bill (not a federal Parliament of Canada bill), it falls under the jurisdiction of the National Assembly of Quebec and applies only within the province of Quebec.
