Bill 6 allows local authorities more power to clear homeless encampments with fines of up to $10,000 or six months in jail for trespassing or using drugs in public.

Advocates for those living on the street say this bill will criminalize homeless people.

The Encampment Justice Coalition plans to take the matter to court with the argument that it's an infringement on people’s rights.
