This video discusses Quebec’s religious neutrality law, Bill 62, which prohibits public employees and those receiving government services from wearing face covering. The Canadian government and provinces such as Ontario responded to the Bill. There is great controversy surrounding the Bill. This video features a debate between Adeel Issa, a critic of the ban, and Salma Siddiqui, a proponent of the ban. The debate highlights the varying stances and viewpoints regarding Bill 62 – arguing whether the Bill is reasonable or if it is a violation of human rights.
