Hijab Ban: Is Quebec Becoming More French?
Quebec Separatists Play to Core Votes with Headscarf Ban
By Reuters
Sunday, 15 September 2013 00:00
The vast majority of our followers agree with what we're putting forward,
although obviously this isn't unanimous," Bernard Drainville said. (Reuters)
Quebec's separatist government is betting on broad popular support with a
proposal that prohibits public workers from wearing headscarves, skullcaps
and other religious symbols, yet it is dividing the movement that advocates
independence from Canada.
The proposal, unveiled by the ruling Parti Quebecois on Tuesday, plays with
the explosive issue of minority rights in a part of Canada, a country that
prides itself as being a tapestry of immigrants rather than a US-style
melting pot.
The government's proposed Charter of Quebec Values would ban teachers,
doctors and other public workers from wearing highly visible religious
symbols, including headscarves and large crosses, in an effort to cement a
secular society in the French-speaking province.
The charter needs support from at least one other party to become law, and
it will certainly face legal challenges.
"The vast majority of our followers agree with what we're putting forward,
although obviously this isn't unanimous," Bernard Drainville, the Quebec
minister who introduced the proposals, told Reuters.
The broad idea of a Quebec charter that would mandate religious neutrality
for government workers seems to have resonated with a majority of people in
Quebec. But it has already caused an unseemly divide among the separatists.
"Has the Quebec nationalist movement sunk for the decades to come into a way
of doing politics that will divide Quebeckers?" asked Maria Mourani, a
Lebanese Christian elected to the federal Parliament as a member of the
separatist Bloc Quebecois.
The Bloc, the federal counterpart to the Quebec's ruling Parti Quebecois,
expelled Mourani from its caucus on Thursday after she expressed
reservations about the charter, and she quit the party on Friday. She said
her family chose Canada over France as a place to immigrate to, because it
was free from the tensions over identity that she saw in France.
"We know well the number of French suburbs filled with millions of Africans
and people from the Maghreb, who are still not considered French," she said.
"You see delinquency, crime, poverty, exclusion. That's not what I want for
Quebec."
France banned religious symbols in schools in 2004 and banned the wearing of
full-face Islamic veils in public in 2011.
47 Disapproved, 42 Approved
A Forum Research poll found that while 47 percent of people across Canada
disapproved of the proposed Quebec rules, 42 percent of Canadians approved.
Quebec separatists have long highlighted their differences with the rest of
Canada in terms of language, culture and religion - the Catholic Church long
held sway in the province and the new rules won't apply to "traditional"
symbols like the crucifix hanging in the National Assembly in Quebec City.
It remains unclear if the gambit will blow up in the face of those who favor
independence, or if it will strengthen a separatist movement that twice lost
referendums on breaking away from Canada.
Drainville, the minister who unveiled the ban, noted that a Forum Research
poll found that while 47 percent of people across Canada disapproved of the
proposed Quebec rules, 42 percent of Canadians approved.
"We're not that different from other advanced and democratic societies such
as Britain, France, Switzerland, Scandinavia,and Germany who have had this
debate on how to have a healthy relationship between religion and the
state," he said.
The idea of a Quebec charter of values has the support of 66 percent of
Quebec residents, according to an online SOM poll conducted between August
30 and September 5, after elements of the plan were first reported.
Yet the new rules have even won the disapproval of the man often viewed as
the hardline guardian of separatism, Jacques Parizeau, who was premier in
1995 when his forces came within a percentage point of winning a referendum
on separation.
Parizeau's wife, Lisette Lapointe, a member of the Quebec legislature, said
the two of them oppose the new plan, which pits multicultural Montreal
against the rest of the province.
"Why create this split between the regions and Montreal? There is a kind of
unanimity in Montreal, all the parties are together, all the separatists and
federalists are saying 'No, in Montreal, we don't want this,'" she told
French CBC television. "What is going on here? This has to be looked at
again."
The metropolitan area of Montreal has nearly half Quebec's 8 million people
and most of its immigrants. Mayors in and around the city have already come
out aggressively against the charter.
Mourani, a Member of Parliament who opposes the proposal, said the
separatists can't achieve independence without support from Montreal.
Antonia Maioni, director of the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada,
said the provincial government had to have expected some of the reaction.
"I think they knew they would get some backlash, particularly in the
metropolis," she said. "Right away you could see that there would be this
kind of resistance."
Outside Quebec, the official response to the charter has been largely
negative. Lakeridge Health, a hospital group outside Toronto, ran a
recruitment ad in a Montreal student newspaper showing a smiling young woman
wearing a pink and orange headscarf.
"We don't care what's on your head," the caption reads. "We care what's in
it."
