Pearl Eliadis on Quebec's Domestic Violence Disclosure Law | Weekends with Rob Fai

webfull — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 20:52:10 +0000

June 20, 2026 | Pearl Eliadis joined Weekends with Rob Fai to unpack Quebec's newly passed Bill 4, the Gabby Renaud Law, which comes into force in December and will allow people at risk of intimate partner violence to request information about a partner's police or corrections history. Modelled in part on the UK's Clare's Law, the Quebec version stands out from similar disclosure regimes already in place in Alberta and Saskatchewan by pairing "the right to ask and the right to know" with a support component for people once they receive that information.
