Public Servants

public servants: More than 250 briefs have been submitted to this Parliamentary Consultation and with an hour allotted to each brief, close to two months will be devoted to the hearings. Opinions on all sides of the debate will be heard from individuals, associations and private/public institutions, thus keeping the identity politic pot boiling in the provincial media, according to Globe and Mail. Despite searching far and wide over the last six months , the government has failed to find a single Qu b cois francophone citizen who complained for having been served by public servants wearing a Muslim hijab, the Jewish kippa or Sikh turban, let alone being served in a religiously biased way and This week, the Parti Qu b cois government launches its hearings on the Charter of Quebec values known as Bill 60. The Charter will modify the Quebec Charter of human rights and freedoms to in effect legislate Muslim, Jewish and Sikh employees to either remove their religious signs at work or be expelled from Quebec State jobs, including the public administration, the courts, municipalities, hospitals, social services, daycares, schools, universities, etc. What problem is the Charter designed to solve? Of the very few Anglophones and cultural communities employed in Quebec state institutions, the minority PQ government refuses to reveal: how many of its public servants are Muslim; how many are female Muslims wearing the hijab or niqab; how many public servants are Jews wearing the kippa, or Sikhs wearing the turban.
