The government takes the action before the explosion of denunciations, such as those for Gilbert Rozon: in addition to extend$ 1 Million for the assistance to victims, Quebec could make sex education compulsory and stop subsidizing Just for laughs.

“It is things that we will have to analyze very, very seriously,” said the Tourism minister, Julie Boulet, when questioned as to whether the government subsidies granted to the company founded by Gilbert Rozon will be maintained.

“This is not some left glide the minister at the exit of the liberal caucus. Depending on the result of the things and of the organization which will remain in place, we will see how the government fits. “

According to a compilation carried out by our Bureau of investigation, the different entities of Just for laughs have reached more than$ 10 Million in grants from the government of Québec since 2012.

“Of course, Just for laughs, and all his productions, this are engines of tourist interest,” said the minister of Tourism. […] It remains to be seen what will be the impacts on the image of the company to the international.”

Like Ms. Boulet, Philippe Couillard has condemned the actions alleged. The prime minister said he was “surprised and saddened” at the news of the allegations against Mr. Rozon.

“We need to be careful not to confuse the person who is the subject of the allegations, and the organization, the event itself, which is beneficial for Montreal,” said Philippe Couillard, on the sidelines of the inauguration of the central Roman-3.

Sex education

Pressed by the opposition parties to return without delay the sex education classes at school, the minister of Education, Sébastien Proulx, explained that it is, for now, cannot proceed as quickly.

Despite various pilot projects in which thirty schools have participated since 2015, only 200 schools have integrated the content of the course this year.

“As early as next year, I would like this to be mandatory. I’m going to work in this direction “, he said in the room.

In the meantime, it invites the schools to teach the subject to their students now rather than wait until the next school year, in 2018.

“Starting this year, all the Quebec schools could adhere to and include in their program, these courses “, he recalled.

In front of a rising “apprehended” in the number of reports, the government also released an additional sum of one million dollars to support the organizations that help victims.

“It is a kind of hurricane of social which we face “, summarized the minister responsible for the status of women, Hélène David, in press point with the minister for social Services, Lucie Charlebois.
