NDP opposes PQ plan to ban religious symbols, Mulcair says - The Globe and Mail

The New Democrats made a submission in 2007 to the Quebec commission that was studying reasonable accommodation and the party decided that its policy would follow the recommendations of that commission, said Guy Caron, MP for Rimouski-Neigette–Témiscouata–Les Basques.


What the Quebec government is proposing is “really very far from the recommendations,” said Mr. Caron. “So it’s easy for us to oppose. This is clearly something that goes against individual right,” he said, “and there is a way to have this debate in Quebec without going as far as this charter (change) is going.”
