Un message fort! La d\u00e9claration commune de tous les \u00e9lus de Montr\u00e9al lundi matin a incarn\u00e9 ce qu\u2019un message fort repr\u00e9sente. Les fonctionnaires se sont tenus fermement contre toute loi discriminant un individu sur la base de sa religion. La d\u00e9claration visait sp\u00e9cifiquement le projet de loi 21 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 par le gouvernement majoritaire de la CAQ en tant que projet de loi s\u00e9parant la religion de l’\u00c9tat, sugg\u00e9rant qu’il enfreignait les droits fondamentaux de certaines minorit\u00e9s. Le gouvernement Legault a d\u00e9pos\u00e9 le projet de loi en utilisant un “consensus g\u00e9n\u00e9ral” pr\u00e9sum\u00e9. Pourtant, notre Charte des droits du Qu\u00e9bec vise \u00e0 prot\u00e9ger les minorit\u00e9s des discriminations de la majorit\u00e9. L’AMC l’a r\u00e9p\u00e9t\u00e9 maintes fois et cette d\u00e9claration commune des responsables r\u00e9affirme \u00e9galement qu’il n’existe pas de consensus g\u00e9n\u00e9ral. L’id\u00e9e est simplement une tactique utilis\u00e9e par le gouvernement de la CAQ pour adopter le projet de loi sans aucune opposition. Une tactique qui correspond \u00e0 leur insistance sur le calme du public. Cependant, l’opposition au projet de loi existe, comme en t\u00e9moignent les nombreuses manifestations et le grand nombre de personnes pr\u00e9sentes. De plus, il n’y a pas de meilleur moyen de d\u00e9montrer l’existence d’une opposition que la d\u00e9claration commune de tous les \u00e9lus de la m\u00e9tropole de Qu\u00e9bec, la ville de Montr\u00e9al.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L’AMC remercie Mme Plante, Lionel Perez et tous les responsables impliqu\u00e9s dans cette d\u00e9claration d’avoir exprim\u00e9 l’inqui\u00e9tude des minorit\u00e9s qui ne disposent pas d’une tribune pour s’exprimer. Les officiels m\u00e9ritent d\u2019\u00eatre applaudis pour leur courage face aux menaces qui continuent de peser. Comme l’indique la d\u00e9claration, personne ne devrait vivre dans la peur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un message fort! Monday morning\u2019s joint statement by all the elected officials of Montreal embodied what a strong message represents. The officials stood firm on their stance against any law discriminating an individual on the basis of his or her religion. The statement was specifically aimed at Bill 21, introduced by the CAQ majority government as a Bill that separates religion from the state, suggesting it infringes on the fundamental rights of some minorities. Legault\u2019s government tabled the Bill using a presumed \u201cgeneral consensus\u201d as support. Yet, our Quebec Charter of Rights is meant to protect minorities from being discriminated against by the majority. CMA has stated time and again, and now this joint statement by the officials also reaffirms, that a general consensus does not exist. The idea is simply a tactic used by the CAQ government to pass the Bill without any opposition. A tactic that corresponds with their insistence on calm from the public. However, opposition to the proposed law does exist as witnessed by the numerous demonstrations and the sheer number of people present for them. Furthermore, there is no better way to show the existence of opposition than the joint statement by all the elected officials of the metropolis of Quebec, the city of Montreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CMA thanks Mme Plante, Lionel Perez, and all the officials involved in the statement for voicing the concern of the minorities who do not enjoy a stage to speak from. The officials deserve further applause for their bravery in the face of continued threats. As the statement indicates, no one should live in fear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
