The Legault government claims to preserve Quebec's uniqueness with its constitutional project, which includes “freedom to abort” among its founding principles. However, it is difficult to see how abortion can serve this interest. From a pragmatic point of view, it is inconceivable to make the freedom to eliminate one's offspring a guiding principle of society when the fertility rate is 1.33 children per woman... From a moral point of view, in addition to the obvious harm that abortion does to the common good, this practice is a grave injustice to the unborn child.

Constitutionalize secularism? Enshroud euthanasia in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms? Omit our Christian heritage? Quebec does not need these whims, quite the contrary!

We issued a call to action and are pleased to see that 446 of our subscribers responded and contacted their representatives about the constitution. If you haven't done so yet, we urge you to share your opinion with your provincial representative on these important aspects of the constitution using our communication tool (this is only possible if you are a resident of Quebec, but if you live outside Quebec, you can share the link with friends and family in Quebec).

A good news, despite the deficit it announces, the budget tabled by the Carney government at least does not include recommendations 429 and 430 from the Finance Committee, which called for the withdrawal of charitable status from religious and pro-life organizations. These unpopular recommendations, which would have resulted in the closure of most religious organizations and pro-life organizations such as pregnancy help centers, were met with widespread outrage across Canada, leading the government to reject them. When enough voices are raised, they have an undeniable impact on government decisions. This shows the importance of working together to combat such evils. Our efforts are bearing fruit!

That is why we invite you to contact your representative using the tool we provide here, in order to defeat the constitutionalization of abortion in Quebec.

We also invite you (and thank you if you have already signed) to sign our petition against the inclusion of abortion and secularism in the Quebec constitution and to participate in the public consultation launched by the government on its draft constitution.

At Quebec Life Coalition, we believe that Quebec must protect life from conception to natural death, support the family according to the natural order, and return to its Christian roots.

To achieve these goals, we advocate through events such as the March for Life, through calls for political action such as the present call to action, through publications such as our website cqv.qc.ca and our Facebook page, and through emails such as the one you are currently reading.

With our warmest thanks for your commitment,

P.S. Even if you’ve already done so, share the link with two friends from your parish, church, or group. Two more messages could be enough to sway a political office.

In its draft constitution, the Quebec government, not content with engraving abortion and secularism in stone, completely omits the Christian heritage of Quebecers.

This heritage consists not only of a few historic buildings or folkloric events, but mainly of the memory and respect for our ancestors who were Christians and who, in addition to the land, passed on to us their most precious gift: their faith.

Not mentioning Quebec's Christian heritage in this potential constitution amounts to constitutionalizing oblivion and cutting off our roots. On what basis can we build our future if we have no history in our “law of laws”?

This draft constitution is a lie by omission that paradoxically proclaims: I remember... nothing.

One could even say that the addition of euthanasia to Quebec's Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms in the same draft is, at least symbolically, part of this elimination of the past.

If you have signed our petition and invited your friends and family to do so, we now invite you to make your opinion known to the government by participating in the public consultation it has launched on the constitutional bill. (Link to the consultation.)

At Quebec Life Coalition, we believe that Quebec must protect life from conception to natural death, support the family according to the natural order, and return to its Christian roots.

To achieve these goals, we advocate through events such as the March for Life, through calls for political action such as this petition and the participation in the current consultation, through publications such as our website cqv.qc.ca and our Facebook page, and through emails such as the one you are currently reading.

Your participation is invaluable to us, and we thank you warmly for it.

While the Quebec government talks about giving the State a constitution, it claims to make “freedom to abort” a “founding principle” of the Quebec nation. This is a very bad principle, because instead of being “founding,” it will be destructive to the nation that the government intends to strengthen. How can killing babies be the foundation of anything, especially in Quebec, which is experiencing an alarming birth rate crisis? It's a complete nonsense.

At Quebec Life Coalition, we believe that the State must, on the contrary, defend life from conception to natural death and protect the family and the Christian faith. We campaign for these three principles to be recognized and accepted by society and the State through various actions:

• In the streets: March for Life, 40 Days for Life, Life Chain, Vigil 365, Canada Prays and Quebec Prays.
• Through speech: colloques, conference tours, video emissions.
• In writing: the blog cqv.qc.ca, social media posts, book publications, weekly emails (including the one you are currently reading).
• Through mobilization: petitions, calls to participate in political life.
• Through concrete help: the Pregnant? Need help? helpline.

That is why, if Quebec were to inscribe a constitution in the marble, we affirm that it must include these three essential principles: the right to life from conception to natural death, the protection of the family according to the natural order, and the recognition of Christianity.

We have also launched a petition, and we thank you if you have already signed it, addressed to the National Assembly so that you can express your disagreement with the constitutionalization of abortion and secularism, as well as the inclusion of euthanasia in Quebec's Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms.

We also invite you, considering the Quebec government's draft constitution, to submit a document as part of the general consultation launched by the CAQ. Groups and individuals have until November 12 to submit a document, and consultations will begin on November 25.

Please share this email with others so that they can sign the petition.

Thank you once again for your commitment.

Last Thursday, the Legault government introduced a draft Constitution for Quebec.

On paper, it might sound noble. But in reality, this text enshrines abortion and euthanasia as constitutional principles, while erasing Quebec’s Christian heritage. Worse still, it could become a model for other provinces — dragging all of Canada into even faster moral decline.

Here’s what this bill actually does:

• It enshrines abortion as a fundamental freedom, even though the Quebec Charter already states that “every human being has the right to life.”
• It includes euthanasia as a state-protected right, encouraging the most vulnerable to choose death as a solution.
• It erases all mention of Christianity — the very foundation of our language, institutions, and understanding of the common good.

This Constitution doesn’t merely exclude faith — it rejects it.

And if it passes, the rest of Canada could follow… but even faster.

At Quebec Life Coalition, we are asking the National Assembly to:

• Remove all articles that constitutionalize abortion and euthanasia;
• Recognize the Christian foundations of Quebec’s identity;
• Launch a real dialogue with faith communities, families, and defenders of life.

Every signature counts. This is a matter of memory, faith, and justice.

Thank you for standing up for Life!

Statement from Georges Buscemi, President of Quebec Life Coalition – Photo: video screenshot/LCN

On October 9, 2025, the Legault government tabled a bill aiming to provide Quebec with its own constitution. Among the so-called “foundational principles” of this constitution is the “freedom of women to obtain an abortion.” Campagne Québec-Vie strongly denounces the inclusion of such a principle, which consecrates the deliberate elimination of an unborn human being as part of Quebec’s foundational identity.

We are outraged — but not surprised. For far too long, Quebec has been institutionalizing the erasure of its spiritual roots, its long tradition of defending life, and even its very sense of human solidarity.

It is worth noting that the proposed constitution carefully refers to a “freedom” to abort, and not a “right” to abortion. This semantic nuance betrays a certain discomfort. For to proclaim a right to abortion would be to affirm that abortion is, in itself, a morally good act — a claim that even pro-choice advocates are often reluctant to defend publicly.

The Life Chain took place once again in Quebec this year, on October 5th. With the help of local organizers, we were able to organize nearly thirty chains across Quebec — an increase of nearly threefold in two years!

Kirkland, QC.

Longueuil, QC.

This type of event is essential for spreading the pro-life message in Quebec, where it is so rarely heard. By standing in public and proudly displaying our support for the unborn child, we show that it is possible to be pro-life without shame and we encourage our fellow citizens to express opinions that they may not even dare to mention. Through our prayers, we draw God's blessing on this great work of charity, which is to defend those who are defenseless.

Saint-Henri, MTL, QC.

This year, according to the Life Chain Canada Committee, approximately 20,000 Canadians participated in the Chain.

Lévis, QC.

It is thanks to your help that we are able to coordinate such events. To continue and further expand this salutary work, I invite you to support us with your donations — give generously here!

We hope to see you participate in the Life Chain next year.

For Life,
Augustin Hamilton

Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, MTL, QC.

The Life Chain will take place tomorrow, Sunday, October 5th, throughout the United States, Canada, and Quebec. Every year, thousands of people gather in hundreds of chains to pray and demonstrate for unborn children.

In Quebec, about 30 chains are being organized. If there is one near you, we invite you to come and participate in this event of witness and prayer.

For one hour, pro-life citizens will stand peacefully along the street, holding signs with messages such as “Jesus forgives and heals” or “Abortion kills babies” and praying for one hour — just one hour.

Will you join us during this hour to reach the hearts of your fellow citizens, who may be unaware of the extent of the massacre of innocent unborn children that takes place every year?

Where can you find the chain closest to you?

Here you will find the list of chains in Quebec, and here the list of chains across Canada. The event normally takes place from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., however, depending on the local organizers, the schedule may vary — please check the list of chains to see their respective schedules.

Come join us to publicly show your support for unborn children!

For Life,
Augustin Hamilton

Thanks to the generosity of our outstanding supporters, we have today reached our fundraising goal for Fall 2025. A heartfelt thank you from the entire team at Quebec Life Coalition!

In the coming weeks, we’ll be able to continue our work with renewed determination, starting with our nearly 30 Life Chains, a flagship annual event taking place this Sunday across Quebec and Canada.

Find the Life Chain nearest you — and most importantly, join in.

👉 Join the Life Chain in Quebec this Sunday >>

However, financially, we cannot rest on our laurels. With the Canada Post strike, our main source of revenue has been cut off. Yes, even in 2025, over 60% of our donations still come by mail! That’s why we strongly encourage you — if you haven’t already — to make an online donation today to help us overcome the serious challenges posed by this strike.

DONATE

Also, members of QLC will be present at various locations this Sunday during the Life Chain. If you would like to hand us a cheque or cash in person, you can meet us this Sunday, October 5, at the following locations:

• Lévis: Georges Buscemi, at the corner of Wolfe and Billy, near Hôtel-Dieu de Lévis (2:30–3:30 p.m.)
• Sherbrooke: Brian Jenkins, at King West and Jacques-Cartier (2:00–3:00 p.m.)
• Montreal: Mario Richard, at the corner of Jean-Talon and Décarie (2:00–3:00 p.m.)

I hope that wherever you are in Quebec or the rest of Canada, you’ll be able to take part in a Life Chain this Sunday, October 5.

This Sunday, let’s be a voice for those who have none — preborn children.
