(Canadian Press) Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet has had enough of all the secularism talk.
Quebec’s Bill 21 banning religious symbols for some public servants is a “very important” subject, but it should not be an issue in the current federal campaign, the Bloc leader said Tuesday on the campaign trail.
Speaking the day after the final English-language debate, Blanchet said Quebec’s secularism law, which bans some public servants from wearing religious symbols on the job, is a provincial matter, and the federal parties should move on to other issues.
“There are plenty of things we should be talking about that we don’t talk much about, because this issue is eating up all the space,” Blanchet said Tuesday.
