About this episode
The Quebec government tabled a new secularism legislation that would impose strict rules about religious expression in public. This comes on top of the current ban of religious symbols worn by teachers, judges and police officers. The province says the changes will ensure equality, but religious groups argue the opposite is happening. We speak with Michel C. Auger, columnist at La Presse and a regular commentator for Radio-Canada about the implications of this law.
