The Regiment des Committees Lagment and Associations de Tenants du Quebec (RCLALQ) urged the Legalt government to take steps to protect the right to housing in this way.

As renovations and rents rise unequally, exhibitors want homes to be considered a right and not an object of benefit to real estate speculators.

Although Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Andre Lafarge presented an action plan last week, RCLALQ believes it “proposes only mitigation solutions that will not slow down the cyclone cyclone cycles.”

However, the minister defended himself by arguing that many tools were available to people who claimed to be victims of dismissal.

Their apartment,” M. Explained^{To me} Lauforest interview at LCN, Saturday.

“So this is the first time the government is working to reverse the burden of proof, to maintain the rent register, we still have a lot of good tools and, as I said, we have a straight line.

For RCLALQ spokesman Maxim Roy-Allard, however, these tools are not enough.
