MONTREAL Quebec s attorney general argued Wednesday that the province s state secularism law does not deny freedom of religion rather, it frames it. After hearing arguments against the controversial law in court for several weeks, the attorney general s office will take the next two days to plead its constitutionality. The piece of legislation, known as Bill 21, is being contested by several groups who want to have it struck down, in whole or in part. Adopted in June 2019 by the National Assembly, it prohibits the wearing of religious symbols by certain public employees when they are performing their functions, including police officers and Crown prosecutors, as well as to teachers in public primary and secondary schools.
