Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said today that while he is "deeply" opposed to Bill 21, his government won't step into the legal challenge taking place in Quebec in order to avoid triggering a fight with the province over jurisdiction.
"I think that it's important, in the first stages of the work that's being done right now, to not give the excuse of a fight between Ottawa and Quebec," Trudeau said.
The prime minister said that by staying out of the fight right now, he can "ensure that it is Quebeckers themselves" making the case to the Quebec government that the law is discriminatory, without giving an "excuse to the Quebec government that this is federal interference."
