(CBC) Quebec’s opposition is warning last-minute changes to the Coalition Avenir Québec’s religious symbols law open the door to the establishment of “secularism police.”
In the final hours before Bill 21 was passed late Sunday, the CAQ introduced several amendments, including provisions to ensure the law is being followed and to impose disciplinary measures if it is not.
Liberal MNA Marc Tanguay, who voted against the bill, said the changes would lead to what he described as “secularism police.”
“It was never discussed, it’s unacceptable,” Tanguay said on Twitter.
Sol Zanetti, an MNA for Québec Solidaire, the second opposition party, also expressed concern about the change.
