(CBC) Justin Trudeau said Wednesday that a Liberal government would not get involved in legal challenges to Quebec’s religious symbols law, at least not “for the moment.”
But that wasn’t good enough for the province’s premier, François Legault, who wants a commitment from all federal leaders to keep out of the matter “forever.”
The polarizing nature of the law — which bars public school teachers and other authority figures in the public service from wearing religious symbols at work — has meant federal leaders have treaded carefully around the issue in recent months.
But the topic came up almost as soon as the federal election campaign officially began on Wednesday morning.
