The Quebec government has tabled legislation that aims to reinforce public security by creating a public registry for high-risk sex offenders and crack down on organized crime.
Ian Lafrenière, the province’s public security minister, tabled the bill Wednesday morning.
“We have heard Quebecers who told us that they are feeling less and less safe,” Lafrenière said in a news statement on Wednesday.
He said that Quebec is “a safe place,” and the bill provides additional means to protect that safety.
The proposed legislation also proposes to impose certain restrictions on protests near the homes of elected officials and allow police forces to relay certain pieces of information about sex offenders to either victims or groups that help victims of domestic violence.
