Toronto Star – Quebec to Vote on Bill that Would Bar Face-Coverings for Those Receiving Public Services
After a decade-long debate about the place of religion in a secular society, Quebec is set to pass a law that would bar public servants from wearing face coverings and oblige ordinary citizens to unveil when seeking access to government services. The proposed law has been vigorously opposed by Muslim advocacy groups in the province who say that it will unfairly target women who wear Islamic face coverings such as the niqab, which leaves only the eyes uncovered.

Toronto startup founder Yishay Waxman, for example, calls the federal government’s global skills visa program the “best thing that happened to my company.” Mr. Waxman’s company, Platterz, used the program to bring in three specialized foreign workers to help the catering service scale up its business.
Montreal Gazette – RCMP Reins in Quebec Division Responsible for Questionnaire Given to Refugees
The RCMP has chastised its Quebec division for a questionnaire given to refugee claimants coming from the United States, which among other things asked them how they felt about working for women and how many times per day they prayed. On Friday, the RCMP put out a statement saying the Quebec RCMP was not authorized to produce and use the questionnaire. It has since been revised, taking out three of the questions, and a new guide is being produced that will comply with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the principles of equality and non-discrimination and the values of the RCMP.
