QUEBEC – Premier François Legault announced that as part of the new pandemic curfew starting in Quebec, all homeless people will be required to find homes by 8pm every evening.
“We need these measures in place to keep the economy open during working hours when the virus doesn’t spread,” said Legault. “Everyone must go home by 8 o’clock, whether or not you have one.”
“There are lots of homes available in Quebec. Look, I can find 100 listings right here on my phone. Some might require the homeless in Montreal to commute from off the island to their favourite intersection, but there will be public transportation from there in a few years, maybe.”
Opposition parties demanded the director appear before the Assembly for three hours to ask him the questions “people are asking,” said Quebec Solidaire spokesperson Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois.
