Quebec Rushes to Pass Bill 9 on Energy Drinks

Quebec’s National Assembly races against the clock to pass 19 bills before summer break and the fall election, with Bill 9—restricting energy drinks for those under 16—taking center stage. Backed by the Quebec order of pharmacists who call them “dangerous,” and even supported by the opposition Liberals, the bill gains momentum after a tragic teen death linked to an energy drink and medication interaction. The Conservatives raise concerns over ministerial power, but analysts say their stance could sway voters. With only four days left and many bills likely to become campaign promises, the rushed timeline—partly due to a prior assembly suspension—adds pressure to an already chaotic legislative sprint.
