Quebec passes Bill 62 forcing public to uncover faces to give or receive serviceQuebec passes Bill 62 forcing public to uncover faces to give or receive services
Bill 62 is the Liberal government’s attempt to enshrine into law what is considered to be a fundamental Quebec value that the state should not promote religion of any kind.
Bill 62 has two basic components: it bans the wearing of face coverings for people giving or receiving a service from the state and it offers a framework outlining how authorities should grant accommodation requests based on religious beliefs.
Couillard said he expects some people to challenge the law, but he defended the legislation as necessary for reasons related to communication, identification and security.
Of course, our young PM Trudeau had stated that, "it's not up to federal government to challenge Quebec niqab ban, however, he believes the Charter of Rights and Freedoms applies to everyone and that he will defend that principle."
What's he on about?
Can you wear a stocking or a hockey mask in a bank? Can you wear a bikini in a justice court?
Can you wear just a speedo in school?
Canada isn't the first country to ban face coverings in certain places.....some countries even banning it in public, period.
Do you support Bill 62?
