A provincial cabinet minister in Quebec is testifying in a civil case after cancelling an event in 2023 that she said she believed would promote an anti-abortion ideology.

Kelowna B.C.-based Harvest Ministries International is suing the province for $80,000 and is requesting a declaration from the Superior Court affirming that the cancellation infringed upon the Christian group’s Charter rights.
