Health Professionals: Religious Symbols

religious symbols: The Association qu b coise d tablissements de sant et des services sociaux AQESSS , which represents more than 100 health care institutions including hospitals and CLSCs, conducted a survey among its members, and found them to be concerned with the repercussions of potentially banning religious symbols at work. There is no problem, absolutely no problem in all the institutions, said Denis Perras of AQESSS, according to CTV. The association has asked that if the government does move forward with its ban on wearing religious symbols, that health professionals be exempt due to concerns over its potential impact. We might lose some people because they will prefer to go somewhere else, said Perras and The PQs proposed charter of values is continuing to stir controversy in the province, this time as an association that represents over 200,000 health professionals has voiced its opposition to the charter. More than half of the groups members completed the survey. While most do not oppose following certain guidelines in regards to religious accommodation, respondents unanimously said they ve never experienced problems with religious symbols at work.
