A major debate has ejected in Quebec as an aftereffect of Premier Pauline Marois' proposed "Charter of Quebec Values," which expect to preclude open division workers from wearing or showing any plain religious images. The proposed bill would ban the donning, for example, of a hijab or turban by government workers but, at the same time, permit the continued display of the large crucifix hanging in the province's legislature.
Quebec's ethnic communities were swift and unanimous in their
condemnation but, surprisingly, two former influential separatist
premiers and leaders of Marois' party, Jacques Parizeau and Lucien
Bouchard, also turned thumbs down on the initiative.
