TOO COMFORTABLE WITH STATE OF EMERGENCY POWERS

QUEBEC — The Quebec government’s bill aimed at ending the state of health emergency in the province appears to do no such thing, the province’s opposition parties said Thursday.

 On Wednesday, Health Minister Christian Dube tabled Bill 28, which is aimed at ending the exceptional powers that have been granted to the government since the COVID-19 pandemic was declared in March 2020.

But rather than calming matters, the bill was roundly criticized by opposition parties in Quebec City, who took aim at the fact that measures still in place when the state of emergency is lifted will remain until Dec. 31.
