\u00a0Introduction<\/h3>\n

It appears from Quebec government policy documents describing its proposed Charter of Values<\/em> (the precise language of which has yet to be released) that it considers physicians and other health care workers to be state functionaries because they are engaged in the delivery of “public” health care.\u00a0 As state functionaries, they will be forbidden to wear noticeable religious symbols or clothing, unless local authorities exempt them from this restriction.<\/p>\n

However, no exemptions will be allowed to parts of the Charter<\/em> that will impose secularism and restrict accommodation of religious beliefs.\u00a0 These are central government policies that are to be enacted through the Charter of Values <\/em>and related legislation.\u00a0 This gives rise to an important question.<\/p>\n
