Summary
Bill 794 is a private member's bill introduced in the Quebec National Assembly by MNA Alejandra Zaga Mendez (Verdun). Its purpose is to officially declare Quebec's commitment to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2050. Net-zero means that the amount of greenhouse gases emitted would be balanced by the amount removed from the atmosphere. This is a declaratory bill, meaning its primary function is to formally state a policy commitment rather than create new regulations or programs on its own. It signals Quebec's intention to align with international climate goals, such as those set out in the Paris Agreement. The bill was first introduced during the 43rd Legislature's 1st Session and was reinstated in the 2nd Session on October 1, 2025. As a private member's bill, it was brought forward by an individual MNA rather than the provincial government.
