Canada's Supreme Court is set to review Quebec's secularism law, which bans certain public workers from wearing religious symbols like hijabs, kippahs, and turbans. Critics argue that the law disproportionately impacts Muslim women and violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, although Quebec's government defends it as crucial for their autonomy. Quebec previously invoked the notwithstanding clause to uphold the law despite its controversial nature. The debate centers on balancing provincial rights with fundamental human rights for ethnic and religious minorities, posing significant implications for Canadian society.
