Quebec City to hold public hearings on secular charter
The Quebec government will hold public hearings on Bill 60, otherwise known as the secular charter, starting Jan.14, 2014.
Tabled on Nov. 7 by Bernard Drainville, the Parti Québécois's minister responsible for democratic institutions and active citizenship, the proposed bill has been met with controversy.
People who want to share their views on Bill 60 either online or in person have until Dec. 20 to do so — that’s the deadline for briefs and requests to appear before the national assembly.
The Commission on Institutions will then select who they’ll hear from.
To be able to comment at the national assembly, interested people and organizations have to submit a request to the commission’s secretary, Valérie Roy.
