Pearl Eliadis on the Impacts of the CAQ's Bill 9 on Religious Freedom | CBC
December 5, 2025 | Pearl Eliadis recently spoke to CBC’s Radio Noon on the potential implications of the CAQ’s recently tabled Bill 9, seeks to reinforce secularism in the province by restricting public religious expression.
Bill 9 proposes banning collective religious practices in public spaces and limiting workplace accommodations for faith-based needs. Eliadis argues that thease measures contradict the CAQ’s intended goal of achieving religious neutrality, and will likely result in significant government overreach in citizens’ lives. Eliadis also highlights that Bill 9 would create real disparities between the religious rights residents have in Quebec compared to the rest of Canada.
