If there is a set of values we Quebecois can call "Quebec values," those would be the values found in the Charter. The Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms was adopted unanimously by the Quebec National Assembly in 1975, 14 years before I arrived in Quebec, after extensive preparatory work under more than one government. If today the target is religious minorities, tomorrow it can be political dissidents or any voice that opposes those in power. A democracy is flawed when the majority can simply toy with minority rights, as it wills. Much more is at stake here than religious rights.
