Act concerning the Ursuline Monastery of Quebec

Summary#

The private bill no. 201 is titled An Act concerning the Ursuline Monastery of Quebec. It was introduced by Étienne Grandmont, Member of the National Assembly for Taschereau, and tabled in September 2025.

A private bill generally targets a specific person, organization, or place. In this case, the text concerns the Ursuline Monastery of Quebec.

The official report confirms that the required notices have been published in the Official Gazette of Quebec and in the newspaper Le Soleil. The bill could therefore be presented and adopted during the specified work period.

The detailed content of the proposed measures is not provided in the available documents.

• The precise effects on citizens, visitors, neighbors, or public organizations cannot be confirmed without the text of the bill.
