The Quebec government’s new secularism bill is “clear discrimination,” an “unreasonable restriction,” and an unneeded answer to a problem that doesn’t exist.
That’s what Charles Taylor, one of the co-authors of Quebec’s 2008 report on reasonable accommodation, said Tuesday during a panel discussion organized by the McGill Muslim Law Students’ Association.
“It’s not just that it’s unjust and against our basic principles, it also is stirring up various kinds of suspicion, even hatred, and a sense of danger around minority religious groups,” Taylor said.
