Rules Wouldn: Police Officers and Authority Rotrand

rules wouldn: The new rules wouldn't apply to elected officials, but the councillors say they want to support those it does affect, including police officers, teachers and civil servants in positions of authority, according to CTV. Rotrand said he wants to show support now, before any official legislation is passed at the provincial level. The motion was filed as a symbolic gesture and spearheaded by councillor Marvin Rotrand. If Montreal speaks in a united voice, it will have a big impact in Quebec, he explained. We already have elected officials who wear religious signs, and to me it has no impact on their judgment or how professional you are, she said. Mayor Valerie Plante supports the motion, reitering on Monday her position that she's very open to police officers wearing religious symbols. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
