Mr. Speaker, the Standing Committee on Justice is echoing Amira Elghawaby's request that professors be hired based on their religion rather than their skills.
First, why is Ottawa getting involved in the hiring of university professors? Is there a minister of higher education here, and Ottawa forgot to tell us?
Second, this proposal flies in the face of secularism. This brings religion back into our schools. We saw what happened in Bedford and Saint-Maxime. Quebeckers want no part of that.
When will this government stop attacking Quebec's model of secularism?
