The new secularism law sets Quebec "on a different path than the rest of Canada" when it comes to religious rights, lawyer Catherine McKenzie argued Tuesday.
The provincial government’s new secularism law is unconstitutional, overreaching and already causing “very grave harm” to minorities in Quebec, a lawyer argued before the Quebec Superior Court on Tuesday.
Arguing on behalf of two civil rights groups, lawyer Catherine McKenzie said the law is trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist, causing harmful confusion and depriving people of employment or achieving their life goals.
The two groups, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and National Council of Canadian Muslims, are seeking to have the court stay certain sections of the law to allow for further debates on its constitutionality.
