MONTREAL — The Quebec national assembly passed a controversial religious neutrality bill Wednesday that will oblige citizens to uncover their faces while giving and receiving state services, triggering criticism the law targets Muslim women. A spokesman for the union representing Montreal bus drivers, ticket takers and subway employees says it isn’t interested in enforcing the law. Ronald Boisrond of the Canadian Union of Public Employees says the union wants proper guidelines. “There’s laws that exist that are in place to protect the rights that everyone should be entitled to,” Singh said. Those are protected by existing laws in Quebec and I’m confident that the courts will continue to protect human rights.”
