Quebecs New Legislation: A Deep Dive into the Secularization ProcessQuebecs new legislation introduces significant restrictions on religious practices in public and private settings, aiming to further secularize the province. The bill bans collective religious practices in public spaces, imposes fines for non-compliance, and prohibits religious menus in public institutions. It also cuts funding for private religious schools that teach religion during class hours and select students based on religious criteria. Prayer rooms in colleges and universities will be closed by September 2026, except for prisons and long-term care homes. The law expands the ban on religious symbols to daycare, college, and university staff, prohibiting full-face coverings like the niqab in these institutions.
