In response to Andre s death, Montreal Mayor Valerie Plante called on Premier Francois Legault to exempt the homeless from the curfew, but Legault refused, saying some people might pretend to be homeless to stay out past 8 p.m.
Miller says he would have liked to have seen more flexibility from the premier, adding that the homeless need to be treated with dignity.
The minister says Legault should show more humanity following reports that Andre had sought refuge in the portable toilet because he had no shelter during the 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew.
Miller, however, says he sees a sign of hope in the news that Quebec health authorities have reserved 925 doses of COVID-19 vaccine for homeless people.
