The most ontroversial section of the law, known as Bill 21, bans civil servants in positions of authority from wearing religious symbols such as a hijab or kippah. A protester at a Montreal demonstration opposing Bill 21 holds a sign that reads 'My veil, my choice.' On Sunday, a spokesperson for Legault insisted that the secularism law is moderate and has succeeded in ending the debate over religious symbols. People gather in Montreal to mark and protest the anniversary of the passing of “Bill 21,” the Quebec religious symbols law barring public school teachers, police, crown prosecutors, and others from wearing religious symbols — like hijabs or turbans — at work. But Issa says Bill 21 has created a two-tiered system.
