Summary
Bill 192, introduced by MNA Marwah Rizqy of Saint-Laurent, aims to ensure that the air inside Quebec school classrooms meets certain quality standards. The bill focuses on regulating ambient (indoor) air conditions to reduce health risks for students and staff who spend significant time in school buildings. The bill was first introduced in December 2022 during the 43rd Legislature's 1st Session and was reinstated in the 2nd Session in October 2025, meaning it continued its progress despite a change in parliamentary session. As a private member's bill, it was brought forward by an individual MNA rather than the government. The bill likely responds to concerns about poor ventilation, CO2 levels, or other air quality issues in aging school buildings, which can affect student concentration, health, and overall well-being. The full text of the bill's specific provisions was not available in the provided content.
