"As of Sept. 1, Muslim students at Québec’s post-secondary colleges, known as
CEGEPs, will have no place to perform their daily prayers. Jewish, Christian
and Muslim independent schools may lose provincial funding. And group prayer in
parks will require municipal permission.
These are key provisions of Québec’s new secularism law, Bill 9. A challenge to
Bill 21, meanwhile — a law prohibiting public employees in positions of
authority, such as teachers, police officers and judges, from wearing visible
religious symbols at work — is currently before the Supreme Court of Canada.
Québec’s new secularism law claims to limit only religious symbols. In fact, it
regulates religious obligations."
