It secured the facility in January 2023 for an event in June 2023. On June 1, the Minister of Tourism cancelled the contract because the event was \u201cagainst the fundamental principles of Quebec.\u201d What happened?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HMI\u2019s leaders had made pro-life statements in the past. Even though the event had no programming related to abortion, the government nonetheless characterized the event as \u201canti-abortion.\u201d Because pro-life views are at odds with the province\u2019s \u201cfundamental principles\u201d and \u201cresolutely pro-choice\u201d position, the Minister cancelled the contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After unsuccessfully approaching dozens of other venues, HMI was forced to cancel its event.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"563\" height=\"305\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/HMI2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38503\" style=\"width:833px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/HMI2.jpg 563w, https:\/\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/HMI2-300x163.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 563px) 100vw, 563px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Claim<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HMI claims financial damages and that the Minister violated its <em>Canadian Charter<\/em> and<em> Quebec Charter<\/em> rights and freedoms, specifically freedom of religion, freedom of expression and opinion, freedom of assembly, and the right to equality on the grounds of religion or political convictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CCCC Intervention \u2013 Collective Religious Freedom and Religious Expression<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together with the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada and R\u00e9seau \u00c9vang\u00e9lique du Qu\u00e9bec, CCCC is intervening to defend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Collective religious freedom, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Freedom of expression<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our coalition argues that public spaces must remain open to all voices\u2014including religious ones\u2014without political censorship.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"566\" height=\"399\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/HMI3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38504\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/HMI3.jpg 566w, https:\/\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/HMI3-300x211.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 566px) 100vw, 566px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Collective Religious Freedom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CCCC will ask the court to confirm that religious freedom applies not just to individuals, but also to organizations. The Quebec government argues that HMI doesn\u2019t have this right because it is not a person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the Supreme Court of Canada has said that religious freedom isn\u2019t just personal\u2014it\u2019s also about communities. It protects both individual beliefs and the shared practices and traditions of faith groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wording of both the Canadian and Quebec Charters, the purpose of religious freedom, its history, and international law all support the idea that it includes group or collective rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a religious group is denied access to public spaces because of what they believe\u2014or are thought to believe\u2014that is a serious and unjustified violation of their religious freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Religious Expression<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Freedom of expression is vital\u2014it\u2019s the foundation for nearly every other freedom we enjoy. It gives people the right to share their thoughts, opinions, and beliefs, even if those views are unpopular or go against what most people think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This freedom supports important values like the search for truth, active participation in society, and personal growth. For people of faith, it often overlaps with freedom of religion, as both involve speaking and living out deeply held beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When government actions limit speech so much that certain viewpoints are silenced, it causes real harm. Instead of promoting openness and inclusion\u2014as the Charter intends\u2014such limits create the opposite: a less tolerant environment for both speakers and listeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next Steps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our written arguments have been filed and the case is scheduled to be heard in November 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Want to Know More About CCCC Interventions?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve written a four-part series in our CCCC Bulletins \u2013 see our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cccc.org\/bulletinmar2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">March<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cccc.org\/bulletinapr2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">April<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cccc.org\/bulletinmay2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">May<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cccc.org\/bulletinjun2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">June<\/a> 2025 editions.
