Persons benefiting from a measure of representation by gender

__Number of people benefiting from a gender representation measure on 31 March of each year since 2007__ 

Representation measures are aimed at adults and minor children.

The opening of a representation measure is ordered by the court when an adult person is unable to take care of himself or manage his property and needs to be represented in the exercise of his civil rights. One or more persons are then appointed to represent it. When a relative can represent a person with an incapacity, this is a measure of private representation (for example, private guardianship, protection mandate). When it is impossible for a relative to represent the incapacitated person, the Public Curator may be appointed as part of a measure of public representation (for example, public guardianship).

In the context of the guardianship of a minor's assets, the guardian (s) have the responsibility to protect his assets, whether the role is assigned to the parents (legal guardians), to a supplementary guardian (person to whom a parent delegates or with whom he shares his parental responsibilities), or to a dative guardian (person other than the father or the mother). Property management supervision is mandatory for a legal or substitute guardian when the value of the assets exceeds $40,000, and regardless of the value of the assets for a dative guardian. The Public Curator assumes the responsibility of guardian of property for minor children who have no one to exercise this function in their environment.

RSQA - real-time air quality index (daily)

The City of Montreal measures air quality in the form of a numerical value called the “Air Quality Index (AQI).” This data set provides access to daily AQI values, updated every hour, approximately 50 minutes after the hour. For example, the 13:00 data is available around 13:50, for all three resources.

***Note: ** the AQI systems do not change the time: they always use Eastern Standard Time (EST) and not Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). So in the example above, around 13:50 EDT, the most recent data available will be from 12:00 EST. *

Historical values, updated daily, are available [here] (rsqa-iqa-historical).

The [list of stations] (rsqa-liste-des-stations) and [sectors] (rsqa-geographic-sectors) linked to RSQA data is also available.

Quebec drinking water conservation strategy 2011 to 2017

The Quebec Drinking Water Economy Strategy (the Strategy) was implemented in March 2011 by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MAMH) to meet commitment 49 of the National Water Policy. This strategy is part of the global context of tightening water policies, with a view to integrated management and with a view to sustainable development. It aims to provide municipalities with the necessary tools to make a clear and accurate diagnosis of water use in each territory in accordance with recognized standards. The current version of the Strategy covers the period 2019-2025.

For all of Quebec, the objectives of the Strategy aimed at for the year 2025 are:

- a 20% reduction in the quantity of water distributed per person compared to 2015;
- the achievement of a moderate level of leaks according to the International Water Association index;
- the gradual increase in the investments required to maintain assets in a sustainable manner while gradually eliminating the maintenance deficit.

In addition to these global goals, goals adapted to the profile of for each municipality are set. These adapted objectives, presented in the form of a threshold to be reached, are now specific according to the characteristics and particularities of municipalities.

RSQAQ - Air Quality Index Statistics

The [Air Quality Index] (https://www.iqa.environnement.gouv.qc.ca/contenu/index.asp) (AQI) statistics show how many days and hours the AQI is “good,” “acceptable,” or “bad.” The data file contains two tabs presenting results for different periods: annual and monthly. The results can be viewed in two units of measurement:

* Hours: The results are based on hourly values from the Air Quality Index and correspond to the number of hours of observation per year and per month.
* Days: The results are based on the maximum hourly value of the air quality index during a day and correspond to the number of observation days per year and per month.

These statistics are calculated with [validated hourly air quality index data] (https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/dataset/rsqaq-donnees-horaires-indice-qualite-air). The [Air Quality Index Statistics] dashboard (https://www.iqa.environnement.gouv.qc.ca/contenu/index.asp) allows you to visualize these results.

The IQA is an information and awareness tool designed to inform the population about the quality of ambient air in Quebec.
