Léger: “A curfew is a bad decision, one that especially penalizes young people”

Léger President Jean-Marc Léger released a statement regarding the curfew that was eventually confirmed by Francois Legault later in the day. Léger referred to the curfew in Quebec as a bad idea that primarily affects the mental health of young people, aged 18 to 34.

“A curfew is a bad decision and one that especially penalizes young people. Did you know that 31% of young people have poor mental health linked to the pandemic? The mental health of young people is also an important issue in this pandemic.”

In order to curb hospitalizations in Quebec, Premier François Legault announced the implementation of a 10 p.m. curfew, the closure of in-room dining at restaurants and a ban on all private gatherings, starting tomorrow.

Un couvre-feu est une mauvaise décision et qui pénalise surtout les jeunes.

Savez-vous que 31% des jeunes ont une mauvaise santé mentale liée a la pandémie?

La santé mentale des jeunes est aussi un enjeu important dans cette pandémie. https://t.co/h6haNwnsA5
