> The government also added a number of last-minute amendments to the bill, including changes that would allow for surveillance and enforcement of the law.

> Quebec's majority government has pushed through a controversial piece of legislation that will bar public-school teachers, government lawyers, judges and police officers from wearing religious symbols while at work.

This legislation has invoked the "not withstanding clause" which means this legislation cannot be challenged in any court.
