It recommended that article 541 CCQ – which renders surrogacy agreemen ts “absolutely null” – be repealed\, and that lawmakers amend the Civil Co de of Québec to recognize and regulate surrogacy arrangements within the p rovince. This paper examines the Comité’s proposed reforms and considers w hether they better support Quebeckers’ reproductive choices than Quebec’s current regime. It argues that while the Comité’s recommendations better p rotect surrogate mothers’ interests\, they do not go far enough to recogni ze and balance the experiences of intending mothers or to support diverse family forms. It suggests that Quebec might learn from British Columbia’s Family Law Act in reimagining its legal responses to surrogacy agreements. \n\nAttendance is open to all.
