(CTV) A pro-Bill 21 rally was held in downtown Montreal Saturday afternoon.
Hundreds of people — many of them donning patriotic gear and waving Quebec flags — gathered on de Maisonneuve Boulevard, not far from Papineau Avenue.
“La Vague Bleue” — the organizers of the event — are a group who say they support Premier Francois Legault’s proposed secularism bill.
“Initially, the main purpose of La Vague Bleue is to promote a Quebec citizen’s constitution,” reads a post on the demonstration’s event page. “Following the latest events, there is now added support for secularism.”
Bill 21 would ban some public servants from donning religious symbols.
