La ministre Proulx condamnée à payer 60 000$ pour l’événement antiavortement annulé
environment fr / draft
Former Quebec Tourism Minister Caroline Proulx has been ordered by a court to pay $60,000. This penalty stems from her decision in 2023 to cancel an event hosted by an anti-abortion group, Harvest Ministries International, at the Quebec City Convention Centre. The group argued that Proulx violated their rights by forcing the cancellation. Proulx had stated her reason was to combat misinformation. This ruling highlights the legal consequences when government officials interfere with event bookings, especially when rights are involved. Future coverage might explore Proulx's response or appeals, and the specific legal basis for the court's decision.
