MOTIONS OF WHICH NOTICE HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY GIVEN
|
MOTION
Moved
by Councillor S. Menard
Seconded by Councillor C. McKenney
WHEREAS in 2019 the Province of
Quebec enacted Bill 21 (An Act Respecting the Laicity of the State)
which prohibits certain public servants from wearing religious symbols
including turbans, hijabs, kippahs, the cross and many others;
AND WHEREAS religious wear in certain
traditions is considered an important act of devotion and is not a mere symbol
of religious identity;
AND WHEREAS the wearing of
religiously-mandated articles of faith or clothing is a fundamental right in the
exercise of “freedom of thought, conscience and religion,” as written in
Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; and does not in any
way diminish the ability of public servants to fulfill their duties;
AND WHEREAS restricting the ability of
citizens from wearing religious symbols affects all components of society:
first nations, settlers and immigrants;
AND WHEREAS freedom of religion in
Canada is protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Canadian
Human Rights Act;
AND WHEREAS the City of Ottawa stands
firmly to support religious freedom as this is aligned with the Canadian
Charter of Human Rights;
AND WHEREAS a secular and religiously
neutral state is achieved by treating all citizens fairly through unbiased governance
structures that do not favour one religion over another;
AND WHEREAS forcing citizens to
abandon certain cultural and religious practices as a condition of employment
will create an environment that fosters intolerance and inequity;
AND WHEREAS Bill 21 is a divisive law
that perpetuates exclusion, discrimination, and class division by increasing
systematic barriers to employment for religious groups;
AND WHEREAS the National Council of
Canadian Muslims (NCCM), the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA), the
World Sikh Organization of Canada (WSO), and others have initiated a
constitutional challenge against Bill 21;
AND WHEREAS Ottawa is a
multicultural, socially diverse, and inclusive city that is home to many
different faiths, religions, genders, languages, and cultures;
AND WHEREAS Ottawa takes its role as
a human rights city seriously;
AND WHEREAS all levels of government
have an important role in protecting our shared values of tolerance and
diversity;
AND WHEREAS other municipalities—including
Brampton, Calgary, Mississauga and Victoria—along with the province of Ontario
have condemned Quebec’s Bill 21;
BE IT RESOLVED THAT Ottawa City
Council oppose Quebec’s Bill 21 and support in principle the constitutional
challenge to Bill 21, and that Ottawa City Council continue to support building
a welcoming city where everyone has access to opportunity and prosperity.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT a copy of
the motion is forwarded to the Premier of Quebec.
