According to a poll recently conducted by CTV and Ipsos Reid, it was found out that almost three out of every four Canadians disliked the idea of government firing its employees in case they refuse to obey the proposed Quebec’s proposed Charter of Values. The poll sample included more than 1,000 people who were consulted via internet from all over the country, out which 72 per cent of Canadians straightforwardly disagreed that “public servants like teachers, health-care workers and others should be fired from their jobs if they insist on wearing religious symbols and clothing at work,” while only 28 per cent were in agreement.
It was noted that the highest approval of the charter was in Quebec, where also only 38 per cent of surveyed agree that workers should be fired, while a vast majority of 62 per cent disagreed. Senior vice-president at Ipsos Reid, John Wright, stated that “I think it’s a question that the [Parti Québécois] hasn’t fully laid out for anybody.” He highlighted “what is the consequence of a public servant defying the charter?” Mr. Wright alleged that “it kind of puts it in perspective that the Charter of Values has been a conceptual debate,” adding that “but the rubber has to hit the road at some point.”
Apart from Quebec, support for firing employees was more or less the same in reset of Canada, i.e. about 28 per cent. However, British Columbia and Atlantic Canada had an even less approval rate of 22 per cent and 16 per cent respectively.
