The president of Quebec’s Human Rights Commission is urging that Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms not be weakened to allow the adoption of Bill 60.
According to the Gazette, Jacques Fremont voiced the commission’s serious reservations concerning the so called values charter in Montreal on Friday.
Fremont argued that Bill 60’s major amendments to the Charter of Rights would place values above basic human rights like freedom of expression and religion.
He added that the bill is essentially unnecessary, as equality, secularism and neutrality are already established in the Charter of Rights.
