Mémoire: La laïcité de l’état n’est pas celle de la société civile. Mémoire pour le Projet de Loi Nº9
La position générale de l’Institut Cardus est que le projet de loi nº9 brouille les frontières en allant trop loin, là où il devrait s’arrêter, et pas assez là où il devrait agir. Il ressort de notre analyse que certaines dispositions du projet de loi nº9 dans sa forme actuelle soulèvent de nouvelles ambiguïtés qui risquent de mettre en péril la laïcité québécoise.
