Quebec Extends Secularism Rules to Daycare Centres

Secularism Minister Jean-François Roberge made the announcement following a recommendation by a committee tasked with advising the province on how to enhance secularism.

The Quebec government has announced plans to ban the wearing of religious symbols in daycare centres across the province, marking a significant expansion of its secularism policies.

Secularism Minister Jean-François Roberge said the move reflects a “broad consensus” among Quebecers who want to see the principle of state neutrality strengthened. The decision follows recommendations from a government-appointed committee that urged extending existing restrictions to childcare services.

The new legislation will apply to educators and staff in subsidized daycares and Centres de la petite enfance (CPEs). However, a “grandfather clause” will allow current employees who already wear religious symbols to continue doing so.

Quebec has previously banned teachers, judges, police officers, and other public sector workers in positions of authority from wearing religious symbols under Bill 21. Critics argue the policy infringes on individual freedoms, while supporters say it reinforces the province’s secular identity.

The legislation is expected to be tabled in the coming months, sparking renewed debate over the balance between religious freedom and state neutrality in Quebec.
