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.
