 EXPLANATORY NOTES

The first purpose of this bill is to enact the Act to prevent and
combat hate speech and speech inciting violence.
The Act provides for the prohibition of hate speech and speech
inciting violence that are engaged in or disseminated publicly and
that target a group of people sharing a common characteristic
identified as prohibited grounds for discrimination under section 10
of the Charter of human rights and freedoms. Acting in such a manner
as to cause such types of speech to be engaged in or disseminated is
also prohibited. The Act introduces a procedure for reporting such
speech to the Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de
la jeunesse which includes measures for protecting people who report
it, and grants the Commission new powers, including powers of
investigation. The Commission is allowed to apply for a court order
requiring such speech to cease. New responsibilities are therefore
assigned to the Human Rights Tribunal, including the responsibility
for determining whether a person has engaged in or disseminated
such speech or acted in such a manner as to cause such acts to be
committed and, if applicable, to determine the amount of the monetary
penalties applicable. If the Tribunal concludes that a person has
contravened those prohibitions, the person’s name is entered, for the
time determined by the Tribunal, on a list kept by the Commission
and available on the Internet. In addition, the Charter of human
rights and freedoms is amended to introduce the prohibition against
engaging in or disseminating such speech targeting an individual,
thus rendering the reporting procedure under the Charter applicable.
The second purpose of the bill is to introduce miscellaneous
measures to better protect individuals.
In that regard, the bill amends a number of rules set out in the
Civil Code of Québec regarding the solemnization of marriages and
civil unions, in particular, by replacing the procedure for publishing
a notice of solemnization. Under the bill, notices must be published
on the website of the registrar of civil status, the registrar is allowed,
except where provided otherwise, to grant a publication exemption,
and the court is empowered to authorize the solemnization of a
marriage if one of the intended spouses is a minor.

2

 The bill also authorizes the courts of justice to order measures
for protecting individuals whose life, health or safety is endangered
by another person by introducing a new type of injunction, called a
protection order, in civil procedure matters.
In the fields of pre-school, primary, secondary and college-level
education, the Minister is granted new powers to inquire into any
behaviour that could reasonably pose a threat for the physical or
emotional safety of the students. The bill introduces, among other
things, a presumption under which such behaviour is considered to
exist in cases involving a person whose name is on the list kept by
the Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse
under the Act to prevent and combat hate speech and speech inciting
violence. Tolerance of such behaviour allows the Minister to withhold
or cancel all or part of a subsidy intended for a private educational
institution, a school board or a general and vocational college.
Furthermore, such tolerance constitutes grounds for modifying or
revoking the permit of a private educational institution.
Lastly, the bill amends the Youth Protection Act to make it clearer
that excessive control can constitute psychological ill-treatment. It
further defines the role of the director of youth protection regarding
the child and the child’s parents, who require assistance, but whose
situation does not otherwise warrant the application of the Act. It
also provides additional protection, if the situation requires it, for
the confidentiality of some information regarding children.

INCITING VIOLENCE
1.  The Act to prevent and combat hate speech and speech inciting violence,
the text of which is contained in this Part, is enacted.
“ACT TO PREVENT AND COMBAT HATE SPEECH AND SPEECH
INCITING VIOLENCE
“AS the Charter of human rights and freedoms (chapter C-12) establishes that
every human being possesses intrinsic rights and freedoms designed to ensure
his or her protection and development;
“AS the Charter provides that all human beings are equal in worth and dignity,
and are entitled to equal protection of the law;
“AS it provides that respect for the dignity of human beings, equality of women
and men, and recognition of their rights and freedoms constitute the foundation
of justice, liberty and peace;
“AS it also provides that the rights and freedoms of the human person are
inseparable from the rights and freedoms of others and from the common
well-being;
“AS, under section 3 of the Charter, every person is the possessor of the
fundamental freedoms, including freedom of opinion and freedom of expression;
“AS, under section 9.1 of the Charter, in exercising his or her fundamental
freedoms and rights, a person must maintain a proper regard for democratic
values, public order and the general well-being of the citizens of Québec and,
in this respect, the scope of the freedoms and rights may be fixed by law;

5

 “AS section 10 of the Charter establishes that every person has a right to full
and equal recognition and exercise of his or her human rights and freedoms
and prohibits all discrimination, that is, any distinction, exclusion or preference
based on race, colour, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, civil status, age except
as provided by law, religion, political convictions, language, ethnic or national
origin, social condition, a handicap or the use of any means to palliate a
handicap;
“AS, under section 50.1 of the Charter, the rights and freedoms set forth in the
Charter are guaranteed equally to women and men;
“the parliament of Québec enacts as follows:
“CHAPTER I
“OBJECT
“1.  The purpose of this Act is to establish measures for preventing and
combatting hate speech and speech inciting violence.
The Act applies to hate speech and speech inciting violence that are engaged
in or disseminated publicly and that target a group of people sharing a
characteristic identified as prohibited grounds for discrimination under
section 10 of the Charter of human rights and freedoms (chapter C-12).
“CHAPTER II
“PROHIBITIONs
“2.  Engaging in or disseminating the types of speech described in section 1
is prohibited.
Acting in such a manner as to cause such types of speech to be engaged in
or disseminated is also prohibited.
However, the purpose of these prohibitions is not to limit the dissemination
of such speech intended to legitimately inform the public.
“CHAPTER III
“REPORTING AND ROLE OF THE Commission des droits de la
personne et des droits de la jeunesse
“DIVISION I
“REPORTING AND INVESTIGATION
“3.   Any person who is aware of hate speech or speech inciting violence
being engaged in or disseminated can report it to the Commission des droits

6

 de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse by providing any information the
person considers useful as proof. The person can also report any situation that
could contravene the prohibitions in section 2, in particular if the person has
knowledge that such speech is about to be engaged in or disseminated or if the
person has been asked to engage in or disseminate such speech.
“4.  On receiving a report of hate speech or speech inciting violence, the
Commission analyzes it to determine the appropriate action to take.
“5.  The Commission may refuse to follow up on a report that is received
more than two years after the last relevant act reported, or if the Commission
considers the report frivolous, vexatious or in bad faith.
The Commission informs the person who filed the report of its refusal.
“6.  If the Commission considers the report to be admissible, it conducts an
investigation.
The Commission may also initiate investigations.
For the purposes of an investigation, the Commission has the powers and
immunity of a commissioner appointed under the Act respecting public inquiry
commissions (chapter C-37), except the power to order imprisonment.
“7.  The Commission must take all necessary measures to ensure that persons
who report hate speech or speech inciting violence remain anonymous. It may
however communicate their identity with their consent or if the situation
requires that a police force be informed of the facts reported.
“8.  The Commission has the interest required to apply to a court for an order
requiring that the hate speech or the speech inciting violence under investigation
cease to be engaged in or disseminated.
“9.  If the Commission has reason to believe that there is a threat to the life,
health or safety of a person belonging to a group targeted by the speech being
investigated, or if there is a risk of evidence being lost, the Commission may
apply to a court for any emergency measure that can put an end to the threat
or risk of loss.
Before applying to the court for such a measure on a person’s behalf under
the first paragraph, the Commission must obtain the person’s written consent.
“10.  The Commission may terminate its investigation if it believes that
seeking further evidence would be futile or if the evidence collected is
insufficient.
“11.  The Commission must submit an application to the Human Rights
Tribunal when it considers that there is sufficient evidence to determine whether
a person has engaged in or disseminated hate speech or speech inciting violence

7

 or whether a person has acted in such a manner as to cause such speech to be
engaged in or disseminated.
“12.  Reprisals are prohibited against a person who files a report or who
cooperates with an investigation of the Commission, as are threats of reprisal
against a person to dissuade the person from filing a report or cooperating with
an investigation.
Interfering or attempting to interfere with the Commission, a reports
committee, a Commission member or mandatary or Commission personnel in
the performance of their duties is also prohibited.
Anyone who contravenes this section is guilty of an offence and is liable to
a fine of
(1)  $2,000 to $20,000 in the case of a natural person; and
(2)  $10,000 to $250,000 in all other cases.
For subsequent offences, the amounts are doubled.
“13.  Anyone, including a director or an officer of a legal person, who, by
an act or omission, helps someone commit an offence under section 12 or who,
by incitement, advice, consent, authorization or order, causes someone else to
commit such an offence is guilty of the same offence.
“14.  The Commission has the interest required to apply to a court for an
order requiring that measures be taken against anyone who carries out, threatens
or attempts to carry out reprisals.
“15.  The Commission may institute penal proceedings for an offence under
section 12.
If the Commission institutes penal proceedings, the costs the defendant sends
it with the plea belong to the Commission.
“16.  The Commission may delegate its powers under this division, except
its power under section 15, to a reports committee composed of two Commission
members whom it designates in writing.
“DIVISION II
