Quebec’s secularism law Bill 21 is tested at Canada’s top court

from This is Montreal

The legal challenge of Quebec’s secularism law, Bill 21, before the Supreme Court of Canada has evolved from a fight over whether teachers can wear hijabs in the classroom into a debate over who should get the final say when deciding questions of rights and freedoms in Canada: courts or elected legislatures? Reporter Steve Rukavina breaks down the arguments and explains why the outcome of this case will have implications across the country.
