Bill 61, An Act to restart Québec's economy and
to mitigate the consequences of the public health emergency
declared on 13 March 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic
(the Bill) was introduced in the National Assembly on June 3, 2020.
Additional measures relating to the protection of commercial
tenants were added on June 4, 2020. The government expects that the
Bill, which remains subject to changes, will be adopted on June 12,
2020. The object of the Bill is to provide acceleration measures
for a period of two years following its assent with respect to
projects that are most conducive to restarting Québec's
economy, including the construction of seniors' homes,
residential and long-term care centres, public transit systems,
roads and schools.
