flag Quebec to ban religious symbols in subsidized daycares, expanding Bill 21's secularism rules.

flag The Quebec government plans to ban religious symbols for staff in government-subsidized daycares, expanding its secularism policies under Bill 21. flag The move, aimed at ensuring neutrality in early childhood education, applies to visible symbols like hijabs, turbans, and large crosses. flag A grandfather clause allows current workers to keep their roles without removing symbols. flag The policy aligns with broader efforts to reduce religious presence in public institutions, including proposed bans on prayer and face coverings. flag The upcoming Supreme Court case on Bill 21 may address the use of the notwithstanding clause, though no decision has been made. flag Implementation is expected in the coming months.
