New guidelines not enough to fix Quebec's face-covering ban, lawyer says


Guidelines raise more questionsThe province was forced to produce the accommodation guidelines when a Quebec Superior Court judge​ suspended parts of its religious neutrality law (previously known as Bill 62) last year. Quebec Justice Minister Stéphanie Vallée said the new guidelines are 'going to help a lot of people respond to [accommodation] requests.' She wants to know if accommodation requests will have to be decided within fixed timelines. Catherine McKenzie, a Montreal lawyer, was part of the legal team that challenged the constitutionality of the face-covering law. The guidelines released this week, she said, don't correct the more fundamental constitutional issues with the face-covering law.
