Quebec Liberals vow their charter will be based on ‘consensus’

Will be interesting to see the Liberal version of the Charter and how the debate plays out but the fundamental premise, of ensuring this is consensus-based and does not discriminate against religious minorities in government, is welcome. While one can argue regarding the need for such a charter or not, likely necessary to help close the debate given the currents and fears in Quebec regarding accommodation:

“We will legislate on the issue, with the elements that form a consensus and on which we could have already acted,” Mr. Couillard said on Tuesday.

The Liberal charter would include measures to fight religious extremism, force Quebeckers to offer and receive government services with their faces uncovered, and propose a framework to settle demands for religious accommodation.
