Quebec plans legislation to ban prayer in public spaces this fall, fulfilling Premier Legault’s push to reinforce secularism. Critics warn it could stigmatize communities, restrict religious freedoms, and spark social tension. 

The law may also expand existing bans on religious symbols in schools and daycares, while use of the notwithstanding clause remains possible.
