More than a thousand people are marching through the streets of Montreal Saturday afternoon to denounce Quebec's proposed charter of values.
Organizers are billing the event as an inclusive rally against restrictions on the wearing of religious symbols in the public service.
Noman Safdar, a 24 -year-old Muslim from Montreal, held up a sign that read: “Multi-faith gathering for peace."
“This is a time for all religions to come together for what they believe in, " said Safdar, an engineer.
“You can't go and impose things on people like this."
Another protester, Salma Ahmed, a 17-year-old high school student who wears a headscarf, said the proposed law is a violation of religious freedoms.
