As reported by media, Bill 21 would ban certain public-sector workers \u2014 including teachers, judges, Crown prosecutors, police and prison guards \u2014 in Quebec from wearing religious symbols such as niqabs, hijabs and turbans.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Quebec provincial legislature passed the bill late on Sunday in a 73-35 vote.<\/p>\n

If employers do not enforce the ban, they will face unspecified “disciplinary measures”.<\/p>\n

The legislation includes wording that preemptively invokes Section 33 of the Canadian Constitution. As a consequence, no citizen will be able to challenge the bill on grounds it violates fundamental freedoms granted by law.<\/p>\n
