The Supreme Court agrees to hear the case

The Supreme Court of Canada, the highest court in the country, accepts the legal challenge to Bill 21, commonly called the “Secularism Act” in Quebec.

Nearly a year ago, the Quebec Court of Appeal validated Bill 21, which prohibits the wearing of religious symbols by state employees in positions of authority.

Listen to the leader of the Parti Québécois, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, comment on various subjects, including this protest.
