Description

April Montréal Gay social workers and members of the Gay Social Services Project bitterly opposed an attempt by management at the Ville-Marie Social Services Centre to establish a computerized registry of social service clients that would include names and personal data; they saw this as a "dangerous invasion of privacy." On April 15, Québec Social Services Minister Denis Lazure intervened to support the protesters, stating that this collection of personal information was unnecessary.
