Political adversaries at Montreal City
Hall have joined forces in a rare show of unity against Quebec’s plan to
ban the wearing of religious symbols in certain public-service
functions.
Mayor Valérie Plante and
members of her administration joined opposition members Monday in
passing a unanimous resolution that says the municipal government is
already secular, and the city is already a model of cultural integration
and harmony and does not need a provincial dress code that will chip
away at individual liberty.
Opposition
leader Lionel Perez, who wears a kippa, choked back tears as he stated
his support for the motion and thanked Ms. Plante for joining his
proposal to oppose the province’s Bill 21.
