The Quebec Charter of Values or bill 60 is an act of law being proposed by the PQ government that would strip the right of civil servants to wear overt symbols of religion such as a large cross or head dress like a Niqab. It also has within it's language a set of rules that would govern how requests for a reasonable accommodation are handled.Many support the bill and many do not and it has created sometimes heated debate.
Many in the province say they will defy the law if it is enacted. Hearings are now underway to gauge just how supported the bill is. 215 submissions will be heard from various groups. These include hospitals, religious groups and other public institutions and interested parties.
CTV is providing live streaming with translation from French to English.
