State Employees

state employees: Bill 60 would force state employees to take off their headscarves, yarmulkes, turbans and larger-than-average crucifixes if they want to keep their jobs, according to CTV. If adopted, not only must state employees have their faces uncovered while administering government services, but those receiving those services must also have their faces uncovered and The Parti Quebecois government tabled its controversial values charter in the national assembly Thursday. The purpose of this bill is to establish a Charter affirming the values of State secularism and religious neutrality and of equality between women and men, and providing a framework for accommodation request, reads a note at the beginning of the document.
