  • Tabling Bill 60, September 2013-January 2014 : the Charter
    Tabling Bill 60, September 2013-January 2014 : The Charter Affirming the Values of State Secularism and Religious Neutrality and of Equality between Women and Men, and providing a Framework for Accommodation Requests Fifth of Five Reports prepared by Miriam Chiasson for David Howes and the Centaur Jurisprudence Project, Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism, McGill University 2 January 2014 In the 2012 general elections, the Parti Québécois suggested, as part of their electoral promises, to enshrine Quebec laïcité with a law, in an effort to ensure the neutrality of the state towards religion and to provide a framework for accommodation requests for religious reasons. Reasonable accommodations have been seen as problematic among the general population since the reasonable accommodation crisis which started around 2007. Following the election of the PQ in September 2012, the minority government’s proposed project, then entitled the Charte de la laïcité, was eagerly expected. The potential contents of the eventual bill were first revealed in August 2013, when the general guidelines of the Charte des valeurs québécoises were leaked in the Journal de Québec. These guidelines outline the government’s plan to prohibit public and parapublic employees from bearing ostentatious religious symbols during work hours, with some THE MANAGEMENT OF DIVERSITY, PART 5: THE SECULAR CHARTER exceptions for private schools and daycares in a family setting, and to protect the presence of the crucifix hanging in the National Assembly. The reactions to the leaked contents were quite polarized, with some commentators praising the government for addressing the issue of religious presence in government institutions and for preserving the neutrality of the state and Québécois heritage, while others denounced the government’s project, since it threatened rights of religious freedom and freedom of conscience.
