Québec solidaire proposes a ‘superminister’ to combat homelessness
Posted August 11, 2026 2:00 pm.
Québec solidaire (QS) proposes appointing a “superminister” to combat homelessness if it comes to power.
The left-wing party’s spokesperson, Ruba Ghazal, presented this pledge on Tuesday during a press conference at the PAS de la rue organization’s facilities in Montreal.
This position would ensure greater consistency in government actions on this issue, Ghazal said.
There are 12,000 people experiencing homelessness in Quebec, according to government data. This represents a 20 per cent increase since 2022.
During the press conference, QS spokesperson on health and social services, Guillaume Cliche-Rivard, accused the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) government of having done “too little, too late.”
