Laval University: Henri Brun

Henri Brun: But Laval University law professor Henri Brun said he had no illusions when he was working on the so-called charter of Quebec values last spring that its release would be explosive in the province and cause tremors across Canada, according to The Star. The expectation is that Premier Pauline Marois government will seek to prevent anyone who draws a salary from government funds from wearing religious symbols in the workplace, including police officers, judges, bureaucrats, nurses, teachers, daycare workers and doctors. The broad outlines of the governments position are to be revealed this week and MONTREAL Quebecs proposed ban on public employees wearing religious symbols is legally defensible, necessary for the good functioning of the province and even wise in the face of the provinces immigration levels, says the renowned constitutional scholar who helped the Parti Qu b cois draft the controversial bill. It was foreseeable, Brun said in an interview with the Star . In any case, the government and Democratic Institutions Minister Bernard Drainville were aware that it would be starting an antagonistic debate between the Anglo-Canadians and the Franco-Qu b cois. As early as April we were aware of that. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
