Parti Quebecois: Secularism

Pauline Marois Dept: With a new Quebec Charter of Secularism, a Parti Quebecois government would seek to strike a balance between protecting the province s values and allowing for different culture to interact, according to CTV. In Quebec, the state will be neutral. That is absolutely important. Next, the equality between men and women is a value that is not negotiable, said Marois, at a campaign stop in Trois-Riveries and tROIS-RIVIERES Pauline Marois is promising to end Quebec s reasonable accommodation debate if she is elected premier on Sept. 4. Under the proposed charter, civil servants would be barred from wearing any religious symbols, including the controversial wear of the hijab.
