This document may not be reproduced by any means or translated, even in part, without authorization from the Ministère de la Justice du Québec. Message from the premier It is an unfortunate fact that many people still suffer, today, as the result of homophobic behaviour in Québec society, perhaps because differences, of whatever kind, are noticed—they arouse curiosity, create a reaction, and provoke certain kinds of behaviour. However, it does not take long to realize that Québec society is moving rapidly forward and remains remarkably open­minded. Specifically with regard to recognition for the rights and interests of members of sexual minorities, Québec can take pride in the leading role it plays. Nevertheless, we still have work to do to overcome prejudice. The Government Action Plan Against Homophobia 2011­2016 provides the tools needed by players in all spheres of activity to combat homophobic behaviour. In many cases, although the players are willing to take action, they are unaware of the tools available to them; in other cases, the tools do not yet exist. This action plan offers a path leading to the achievement of the objectives targeted in the Québec Policy Against Homophobia, marking a precedent in North American society. The fundamental principle on which the Government Action Plan Against Homophobia 2011­2016 is based is full recognition and acceptance of sexual minorities. This means an end to intolerance and malevolence. Québec stands for respect and inclusiveness, and will now have the means to meet its objectives. Thanks to this plan, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transsexuals and transgenders will have an assurance that the right of all individuals to achieve their potential and participate fully in all dimensions of life in society remains a key priority for Québec, and that they can rely on the support of their government in their quest for social equality. Although the state plays a key role in the fight against homophobia, it cannot act alone. It relies on a broad range of partners, some of whom are specifically required to protect the interests of sexual minorities. However, all organizations and all individuals are invited to rally round and take part in a fight that will enrich the whole of society, for the greater benefit of the citizens of the future. Jean Charest Premier of Québec III Message from the ministers Discrimination against lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transsexuals and transgenders (LGBT) is unac­ ceptable. All individuals should be free to reveal, or not to reveal, their sexual orientation and to live their lives without being judged, labelled or stigmatized. This is an inalienable right, based on the fundamental principles of justice and freedom which we all support. In December 2009, the Québec government released the Québec Policy Against Homophobia: Moving Together Towards Social Equality. The objective of this major policy initiative was to guide Québec society towards full and complete recognition of sexual minorities. At the same time, we made a commitment to draw up an action plan that would provide social, community and professional support for LGBT and increase our knowledge about sexual diversity. Presented here is the Government Action Plan Against Homophobia 2011­2016, which results from the concerted efforts of eleven government departments that helped define and draft the measures it contains. This milestone document is based directly on the concerns expressed by the many different organizations working to defend the interests of LGBT, who played an active role in the discussions that preceded the drafting process. This government action plan calls on the involvement of all institutions and all Quebecers to ensure that we can live in a society free of all forms of prejudice. Together, over the next five years, we will increase our efforts to improve the situation of sexual minorities. The actions set out in the plan, whether focused on the long term or on everyday life, will help ensure that Québec becomes a fairer, more tolerant society that is rich in its diver­ sity. They will also allow Québec to retain its leadership role in the field of social equality, for the benefit of current and future generations.

Homophobia: All negative attitudes leading to the rejection of and direct or indirect discrimination against gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transsexuals and transgenders, or against persons whose appearance or behaviour does not conform to masculine or feminine stereotypes. Sexual minorities: Inclusive term for lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transsexuals and transgenders. The definitions are taken from the report De l’égalité juridique à l’égalité sociale by the Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse. In this action plan, the term “homophobia” includes the notion of “transphobia”, defined as follows: Transphobia: All negative attitudes leading to the rejection of and direct or indirect discrimination against transsexuals, transgenders and transvestites, or against persons who cross the lines of gender and sex or of gender and sex representations.1 1 Definition elaborate in collaboration with AlterHéros, L’Association des transsexuels et des transsexuelles du Québec, Projet 10, Centre 2110, Coalition jeunesse Montréalaise de lutte contre l’homophobie and Le Conseil québécois des gais et lesbiennes.

En effet, plus de 87 % des immigrants établis au Québec vivent alors dans la métropole. Dès 1990, le gouvernement québécois annonce son intention de favoriser la régionalisation, de l'immigration dans une perspective de développement régional. Or, la concentration métropolitaine des immigrants n'est ni un phénomène récent ni propre au Québec. Pourquoi dans ce cas devient-il, à cette époque, un problème public? Une analyse de politique publique basée sur le modèle théorique séquentiel développé par Charles Jones nous permet d'étudier le processus par lequel la concentration métropolitaine de l'immigration au Québec est construite socialement et politiquement comme un problème public par les autorités gouvernementales et des représentants de la société civile.

  • Interview of Geoffrey Kelley by Alexandre Marceau
    Interview of Geoffrey Kelley by Alexandre Marceau Sunday, March 11, 2019 Geoffrey Kelley was a member of the National Assembly of Quebec for Jacques-Cartier, from 1994 to 2018, representing the Quebec Liberal Party. He gave one of the plenary addresses at Bishop’s University’s Symposium to commemorate the centenary of World War One on November 9th 2018. This is a transcript of a later interview between Geoffrey Kelley and student intern Alexandre Marceau at the former’s home in Montreal. Alex: What is your relationship to Frederick G. Scott? Geoffrey: My grandmother, Mary Scott, was F. G Scott’s only daughter (of seven children) and eventually married Arthur Kelley, who, like Frederick, was also an Anglican minister. Mary and Arthur both met in Quebec City at St Matthew’s church, which is right in the city and is no longer a church. It is now a public library. Arthur went there to take up his career as an Anglican minister and married the boss’ daughter. Alex: Since Frederick passed away eleven years before your birth, did you get to know Mary’s siblings? Geoffrey: Certainly, of the six sons, I knew four. Charles died at the turn of the 20th century when he was nine, and of the five remaining boys, there was Henry Hutton (Harry) Scott, who was killed in the First World War and whom I never knew but in story. So I knew the other four sons, William, Elton, Frank, and Arthur, in varying degrees and they were all characters. They also all talked a great deal about F.

    Press release Gouvernement du Québec FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CNW CODE 01 + weeklies The Québec government signs a new agreement with the Cree Québec City, July 13, 2015 – “We are taking yet another significant step today in the Nation-to-Nation relations between Québec and the Cree.” It is in these terms that Québec Premier Philippe Couillard welcomed Grand Chief of the Grand Council of the Crees (Eeyou Istchee) Matthew Coon Come at the ceremony at which a new partnership and collaboration agreement was signed. For this occasion, minister of Forests, Wildlife and Parks Laurent Lessard, Minister of Sustainable Development, the Environment and the Fight Against Climate Change David Heurtel, Minister responsible for Native Affairs Geoffrey Kelley, and Minister responsible for Canadian Intergovernmental Affairs and the Canadian Francophonie Jean- Marc Fournier accompanied the Premier. “The Québec government is firmly determined to maintain harmonious, respectful relations with First Nations and Inuit. Based on this agreement, we are enhancing our relationship with the Cree. Moreover, I welcome Grand Chief Matthew Coon Come as a key partner for the development of Northern Québec, the protection of the territory and the collaboration with local and Aboriginal communities,” the Premier noted. The agreement signed today covers specific objectives such as forestry harmonization in the territories defined by the Baril-Moses document, which also concerns hunting, fishing and trapping activities, in addition to facilitating the harmonization of the adapted Forest regime. “I am indeed pleased with this agreement, which pursues an open relationship that respects values and the shared interests of the Cree Nation and Québec. It is a concrete example of the manner in which Québec wishes to associate the First Nations and the Inuit with enlightened resource development.
