MONTREAL \u2014 Quebec has introduced a bill that bans some public employees from wearing religious symbols at work, including kippahs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The measure is intended to reinforce the separation of church and state, but critics say the real target appears to be Muslims and their hijabs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Quebec parliament tabled the \u201csecularism bill\u201d on Thursday introduced by the right-leaning coalition government of Premier Francois Legault.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among those who would be affected are teachers, police officers and judges. Along with kippahs and hijabs, Sikh turbans and crucifixes would be prohibited.<\/span><\/p>\n

Polls show most Quebecers supporting the legislation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Jewish community is wary.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very concerned with the new Quebec government\u2019s statements regarding a ban on religious symbols displayed by government officials and displayed in public institutions,\u201d said Harvey Levine, the Quebec regional director of B\u2019nai Brith, suggesting the notion is \u201cat odds\u201d with Canadian values.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe call on the [Quebec government] to avoid the slippery slope of diminishing fundamental rights and work instead to secure religious liberties for all Quebecers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As an apparent sop to critics, the legislation has a grandfather clause that allows workers who now wear religious symbols to keep them on, and will remove a prominent historical crucifix in Quebec\u2019s National Assembly. But new public workers in \u201cauthority\u201d positions could not wear religious symbols \u2014 they risk dismissal if they do not follow the ban.<\/span><\/p>\n

In October 2017, Quebec\u2019s previous Liberal government passed a bill banning face coverings for those receiving public services.<\/span><\/p>\n
