Muslim groups are speaking out against the Quebec government's intention to ban prayer spaces in public schools, saying they will monitor how the new rules are enforced.

It's a vacant lot next to the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Catholic cemetery on Rang St-Antoine, just south of highway 20 in Vaudreuil-Dorion.

Quebec's most prominent women's group is divided over whether to acknowledge prostitution as a freely chosen career and whether to support all Muslim public servants who choose to wear a hijab at work.
