Summary
Bill 20 is a Quebec provincial government bill introduced by the Minister Responsible for Housing, Caroline Proulx, during the 43rd Legislature's 2nd Session in February 2026. It would create a new law called the 'Act to facilitate access to housing' and make changes to several other existing laws related to housing in Quebec. The bill went through special consultations and public hearings at the Committee on Planning and the Public Domain in late March 2026, where various groups and individuals could share their views. A consultation report was tabled on April 1, 2026. The bill appears to be aimed at addressing housing accessibility challenges in Quebec, though the full text of the bill's specific provisions is not available in the provided source material. Because this is a Quebec National Assembly bill rather than a federal Parliament bill, it applies only within the province of Quebec. The legislative process shown indicates the bill was still moving through committee stages as of early April 2026.
