More groups joining fight against Quebec’s controversial secularism law
Description
April 30, 2024
Two more groups have joined a bid to get the Supreme Court of Canada to rule on the constitutionality of Quebec's secularism law. Their decision follows that of a major Quebec teachers' union and the English Montreal school board's move to contest the law. They insist Bill 21 is rooted in discrimination and question the government's use of the notwithstanding clause. Global's Phil Carpenter reports.
