Quebec’s minister responsible for secularism says the government isn’t ruling out expanding its religious symbols ban to include daycare employees.

Jean-François Roberge says “everything is on the table” when it comes to strengthening secularism in the province, including extending the law known as Bill 21 to include more categories of public employees.
