Following the Louiseville tragedy, the Quebec Provincial Police Association (APPQ) will request significant changes from the National Assembly on Monday, according to documents received by our investigative office.

On Monday, the Quebec Provincial Police Association, which represents officers from the Sûreté du Québec, will file a petition asking all police officers who intervene at the scene after an 911 call to know if there is anyone whose mental state may be disturbed or not.
It will also require the Quebec Mental Disorders Review Commission to review its entire legal framework.
The commission has been known over the past year for failing to free people who have committed very serious crimes, as was the case in Louiseville.
On March 27, Sergeant Maureen Breau, who had been a police officer for the Sûreté du Québec since 2002, was stabbed to death by a suspect who was released despite “high risk”.
According to APPQ, the number of calls for a potentially violent person has increased by 35% since 2018.
The whole thing is sponsored by CAQ member Maskinongé.
