The LatestToday kicks off four days of hearings at the Supreme Court of Canada for the legality of Bill 21, Quebec's religious symbols ban for public sector employees in positions of authority. It was challenged by the English Montreal School Board along with some advocacy organizations and teachers. Perri Ravon, the lawyer for the English Montreal School Board, is the first lawyer presenting to the court. Bill 21 interferes with the English language community's cultural concerns, Ravon said. He said that until Bill 21 is struck down the fight against it must go on.
