Philippe Couillard

Philippe Couillard: Philippe Couillard, the leader of the provincial Liberal party, said the Parti Qu b cois government has no business telling the provinces doctors, nurses, teachers and bureaucrats what they can and cannot wear to work. He said the proposal has created a climate of crisis to try to justify what is being called a charter of Quebec values, according to The Star. The details of the proposed legislation are to be introduced next Monday for what will be weeks of polarizing debate over how far to go in driving home the message that Quebec is a secular state that doesnt look kindly on faithful residents seeking exemptions from the rules that apply to everyone else and MONTREAL Quebecs main opposition party says a proposed ban on the wearing of religious symbols by public sector workers in the province is heading down a dangerous path that puts Quebecers fundamental freedoms at risk. The Quebec of today and tomorrow must unite people rather than divide them, include rather than exclude, add rather than take away and present to the rest of Canada and the world the best of itself, Couillard said.
