Bill 21 should be quickly repealed

MONTREAL—From the moment Bill 21 became law, it was inevitable that it would end up in front of the Supreme Court of Canada. The English Montreal School Board made this announcement recently. The pushback from the Quebec's CAQ government—the authors of this controversial law—has been immediate. Quebec Justice Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette stated 'this is a Quebec issue,” and invited the federal government to “mind their own business.

To implement this discriminatory secularism law, the CAQ government took four steps: it re-wrote the Quebec Charter to remove certain human rights, it invoked closure to stop any debate in the Quebec National Assembly on this issue, it used the notwithstanding clause to override the Canadian Charter, and it simply ignored the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.
