"City Charter"

Council approved the text of a private bill to amend the City of Gatineau's Charter to create a Public Participation Office. This follows the failure to include these provisions in a previous provincial bill, necessitating a private bill to be presented to the National Assembly of Quebec.

Council mandates the administration to begin the process of amending the City of Gatineau Charter to create an independent Public Participation Office. The administration will also prepare the financial framework for this office for the 2026 budget cycle.
