Quebec's highest court is set to begin hearing appeals on the constitutionality of the province's secularism law, known as Bill 21.

Posted: Nov. 7, 2022 7:09AMWomen wear hijabs as they walk in the Old Port in Montreal on Thursday, August 11, 2022.

The law prohibits public sector workers who are deemed to be in positions of authority, including teachers, police officers and judges, from wearing symbols such as hijabs, kippas or turbans at work. The groups opposing the law filed arguments in December saying the bill goes against Canada’s constitutional architecture and it infringes on federal jurisdiction.

The Quebec government passed Bill 21 in 2019 and has repeatedly argued the law is moderate and supported by a majority of Quebecers.
