Jour de l’opposition

Ms. Horwath moved,

Mme Horwath propose,

Whereas all people who wear religious symbols including turbans, hijabs, kippahs, crucifixes and other articles of clothing that represent expressions of their faith are welcome to serve the Ontario public; and

Whereas discrimination based on religion is prohibited by Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms; and

Whereas Quebec passed legislation, Bill 21, that prohibits the wearing of religious symbols and violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms; and

Whereas national civil rights groups including the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, the National Council of Canadian Muslims, B’nai Brith Canada, the World Sikh Organization, the Canadian Bar Association, Amnesty International, and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs have all opposed Bill 21; and

Whereas municipalities across Ontario including Mississauga, Brampton, the Peel Regional Council and Toronto have already passed motions condemning the legislation;

Therefore the Legislative Assembly calls on the Government of Ontario to communicate its opposition to Bill 21 by formally requesting the Quebec Government immediately repeal Bill 21 and by intervening in any Supreme Court challenge of Bill 21 that may be heard by the Court.
