The National Assembly unanimously adopted a motion on Wednesday to defend… Christmas.
Quebec elected officials thus condemned the position of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, which judges that this holiday constitutes systemic religious discrimination.
The wording of the motion denounces any polarization around unifying events which have been part of Quebec heritage for several generations.
The minister responsible for the Fight against Racism, Christopher Skeete, tabled the motion, jointly with the liberal opposition, the Parti Québécois (PQ), as well as the two independent deputies, but without Québec solidaire.
All 109 elected officials present in the House, however, voted for the motion, without abstention.
