Quebec’s Bill 21, which bans public employees from wearing religious symbols at work, has received opposition. Specifically, organizations such as NCCM and CCLA have filed a motion to challenge the Bill in court. Individuals, such as Ichrak Nourel Hak and Amrit Kaur, who have been impacted by the Bill are fighting against it. However, opponents face a significant challenge: the notwithstanding clause. Therefore, another route has been taken to challenge the Bill such as arguing against the Bill on the grounds of equality and the vagueness of the Bill.
