A constitutional test of Quebec's Bill 21 began Monday in the Quebec Superior Court in Montreal. The law, which was passed last year, prohibits public teachers, as well as government lawyers and other civil servants, from wearing religious symbols such as turbans and hijabs at work.

We speak with Sarah Abou-Bakr, Quebec Advocacy Coordinator with the NCCM.
