  public worker in a position of authority So it applies only to specific subsets of public roles (police, judge, etc). It also applies to teachers, but I am not sure this was a good idea. Switzerland has a similar law too https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/church-and-state_geneva-secularism-law-approved-by-voters/44745698 https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/church-and-state_geneva-secular...

      Following the footsteps of the mother country I guess. I wonder why does rest of Canada allows Québec to act as a rogue province.

      France's laws are a lot more universal I thought, not limited to certain jobs.
