Quebec's secularism law, Bill 21, challenged by Fédération autonome de l'enseignement (FAE) and English Montreal School Board before Supreme Court of Canada.
A major Quebec teachers union, Fédération autonome de l'enseignement (FAE), has joined the English Montreal School Board in challenging Quebec's secularism law, Bill 21, before the Supreme Court of Canada. The law, enacted in 2019, bans many public sector employees, including teachers, police officers, and judges, from wearing religious symbols at work. The FAE opposes the Quebec government's use of the Constitution's notwithstanding clause to shield the law from Charter challenges.
