The party favours police officers wearing body cameras. It would install smart surveillance cameras to deter criminal acts. It would increase police patrols in neighbourhoods affected by “street gangs, trafficking, prostitution, delinquency, and intercommunity tensions.” It says it would ensure fair and non-discriminatory interventions but did not specify how. It would regulate religious gatherings through police enforcement. It would require a permit for any religious event in a public space, evaluated based on “strict criteria” of safety, traffic flow, and a “respect for secularism,” with designated locations and times to prevent any disruption. It would aim to prohibit “spontaneous prayers.” It would launch an awareness campaign in schools, associations and neighbourhoods to promote secularism and strengthen Montreal’s unity.
