Quebec tables Bill 4, a proposed law that would let people obtain information about the intimate partner or conjugal violence history of their current or former partner.

Global News links the initiative to a specific case involving Gabie Renaud, who is alleged to have been killed by her partner last year, describing it as an inspiration for the legislation. The Winnipeg Free Press also covers the bill, focusing on the ability to obtain domestic violence information about a partner. The bill’s details in the sources center on expanding access to violence-related history to help inform safety decisions; the outlets do not provide further specifics on implementation, scope of data, or oversight in the excerpts provided.
