Foundation for the Defence of the Rights and Freedoms of the People

The Foundation for the Defence of the Rights and Freedoms of the People (French: Fondation pour la défense des droits et libertés du peuple, commonly abbreviated FDDLP) is a Canadian non-profit organization that describes its purpose as defending rights and freedoms through the courts. Its official website presents three missions, the first and most detailed of which is "DEFENDRE" (to defend): contesting before the courts the validity of legislative instruments that authorize the state, its mandataries and its agents to infringe the rights and freedoms of individuals, as well as measures judged exaggerated and illegitimate within democratic societies such as Quebec and Canada. According to the foundation, these contests take the form of subsidies granted to plaintiffs' lawyers or the hiring of experts who produce the expert reports needed to support legal cases. The foundation's public materials highlight several legal actions. In June 2020, lawyer Guy Bertrand filed an application for judicial review against the Government of Quebec in connection with the public health emergency measures law (COVID-19 and Bill 61). Also in June 2020, Guy Bertrand sent a preventive letter to the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec urging him not to give royal assent to Bill 61. In July 2020, Rocco Galati filed a suit, according to the foundation's account of its activities. The organization solicits public support through membership in an "Ambassadors club" and through donations, using the slogan "Aidez-nous à vous aider" (Help us help you). Its website quotes Gandhi, Anthony Robbins and other motivational figures, and lists contact details including a telephone number and social media links. The FDDLP operates primarily in the Canadian province of Quebec and frames its work in relation to Quebec and Canadian democratic society. It is a small, advocacy-oriented entity rather than a commercial enterprise, and its brand identity is tied to its legal-challenge activities and fundraising appeals.
