Calgary, Alberta -- Questerre Energy Corporation ("Questerre" or the "Company")
(TSX,OSE:QEC) reported that the Government of Quebec intends to bring into
effect Bill 21, An Act mainly to end petroleum exploration and production and
the public financing of those activities on August 23, 2022. The Company also
reported that the Attorney General of Quebec is seeking a motion to dismiss the
Company's claims for the related revocation of its licenses in the province.

Michael Binnion, President & Chief Executive Officer of Questerre, commented,
"By enacting Bill 21, the Government chooses, once again, to ignore the
realities of the current energy crisis and how to genuinely reduce GHG
emissions. This ill-conceived legislation only serves to increase GHG emissions
in Quebec and elsewhere. As our European allies and partners around the world
urgently seek reliable natural gas, Quebec is squandering the opportunity to
become a trusted supplier and a proactive participant in reducing our dependence
on autocratic suppliers of energy."

He added, "The Attorney General of Quebec's decision to seek a dismissal of our
legal claims without due process has only strengthened our resolve to fight this
blatant injustice. We are objecting to this dismissal and the revocation of our
licenses under this legislation. We will vigorously defend our legal rights and
seek fair and just compensation for breaching our license agreements. Quebec is
a democratic state and it must act in good faith with respect to our agreements.
Expropriating honest corporations assets without due process and fair
compensation does not respect the rule of law that democracy depends on. We are
also working with our partners, including First Nations, to ensure their legal
rights are protected."

The Government has announced that Bill 21 will come into force on August 23,
2022. This follows royal assent on April 13, 2022 and the approval of the
elected representatives of the National Assembly. A copy of the announcement in
the official gazette is available online at :

The Company also reported that the Attorney General of Quebec has requested the
Superior Court order the special case management of all outstanding litigation
related to Bill 21. If granted, this demand would result in all Bill 21 related
litigation being regrouped and dealt with by one single judge. The Company,
through its legal counsel, will submit its official response to this request in
due course. The Attorney General also intends to ask for all pending litigation
to be dismissed. The pending litigation includes the judicial review application
and the claim for expropriation filed by Questerre in 2018 and 2022
respectively.
