On September 28, 2026, the Parti Québécois announced a proposal to introduce legislation that would prohibit insults directed at police officers throughout Quebec, beginning in the Richmond‑Ulverton riding.
The initiative is modeled on an existing municipal ordinance in Montreal that bans insults toward police. Party leader Paul St‑Pierre Plamondon said the measure would be adopted if the PQ forms the next government, with the aim of improving public safety.
