www.ctvnews.caI don’t have live access to current news right now, but here’s what’s publicly known about France-Élaine Duranceau, the Quebec housing minister, from recent coverage:
- In 2023–2024, Duranceau faced ethics scrutiny over meetings with a longtime associate, including discussions tied to real estate activity, which led to ethics findings and public discussion about her conduct. This context helped frame subsequent political debates around housing policy in Quebec.[4]
- She has been a central figure in Quebec’s housing reform debates, including Bill 31, which drew protests and opposition criticism at various times; supporters and opponents have debated lease-transfer provisions and other regulatory details. These episodes illustrate the contentious environment around housing policy in the province during her tenure.[2][5]
