The Supreme Court of Canada concludes hearings on Quebecs Bill 21, the secularism law banning religious symbols for public workers. The court refuses to base its decision on extreme hypotheticals, as opponents argue that without limits on section thirty-three of the Charter, governments could shield discriminatory measures. Justices push back, expressing faith in Canadians good sense. The law, passed in 2019, overrides Charter rights and requires uncovered faces for certain jobs. The case sets a major precedent on the clauses reach, with the court yet to issue its ruling.
