Quebec officials are considering an expansion of the province’s strict secularism rules to include daycare workers—a proposal that has sparked as much debate as it has raised concerns over staffing. In this modern tug-of-war between personal identity and professional obligations, the conversation is anything but child’s play.
QUEBEC - The Quebec minister responsible for secularism says the government isn't ruling out expanding its religious symbols ban to include daycare employees.
«On ne veut pas créer de bris de services», dit la ministre de la Famille, en parlant de la pénurie d’éducatrices.
Si l’interdiction des signes religieux devait être étendue aux CPE, une clause de droits acquis devrait « définitivement » être mise en place, a soutenu la ministre de la Famille, Suzanne Roy. Sans quoi, le réseau en viendrait à manquer d’éducatrices.
