Quebec government reinvokes notwithstanding clause to shield its chauvinist secularism law from court challenge

In 2021, a Quebec court found that Bill 21 violates basic rights and is having a “cruel” and “dehumanizing” impact on minorities, especially Muslim women. However, it nevertheless upheld the discriminatory ban on religious signs as the CAQ government’s invocation of the “notwithstanding clause” was "lawful."
