CBC NEWS: About 60 women, a third donning the Muslim veil, demonstrated Saturday in front of Montreal City Hall and demanded the province scrap legislation that would require anyone receiving public services to show their face.
Bill 94 was proposed last month amid Quebec's public debate over how far governments should go to accommodate religious customs.
Government officials have said the bill is a solution to the need to balance individual freedoms with the values of Quebec society, including the equality between men and women and secular public institutions.
But protesters described the legislation as being discriminatory. >>> CBC News | Sunday, April 18, 2010
