Title
Bill 21 : An Act Respecting the Laicity of the State
Abstract
Following careful consideration of the proposed changes to existing legislation put forth in Bill 21, Townshippers’ Association is compelled to react and highlight issues and concerns as they may apply to Quebec’s diverse English-speaking minority language communities; it is our considered opinion that Bill 21 is not a measure that will enhance the values and personal freedoms already enshrined in both the Canadian and Quebec Charters of Rights and Freedoms. The adoption of this bill and the application of Section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as a work around against any potential charter challenges will only serve to deepen divisions among Quebec residents and increase the isolation of minorities.
