Religious Symbols: Quebec Premier Pauline Marois

Quebec Premier Pauline Marois: A media report on Tuesday suggested that Quebecs Parti Quebecois government will unveil new legislation this fall that would ban public employees from wearing religious clothing such as turbans, hijabs and kippas, according to CTV. Neither Quebec Premier Pauline Marois nor the minister responsible for the charter, Bernard Drainville, has commented on the report, but Marois is expected to address the reports Thursday and Quebecs proposed ban on religious symbols and clothing in public buildings would be very vulnerable to a challenge in the courts, says the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. The report said the so-called Charter of Quebec Values would also ban employees in public institutions from wearing religious symbols like crucifixes. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
