Abstract

In 2007-2008 the Quebec government creat­ed a committee to investigate the practices of conciliation related to cultural differences. The Bouchard-Taylor Committee then started to ques­tion the relation between authentic quebequenses and communities recently immigrated in which members from the latter openly express their religious beliefs and try occasionally to impose them judicially. As the question has not yet been regulated by the aforementioned committee, today quebequenses are divided on this issue. How will the State react towards partisans of open and absolute secularism?
