Description
Summary:Canada is a plural society that has also developed legal and political instruments to manage its diversity, including religious diversity. If Canada offi cially adopted Multiculturalismas the prevailing policy in this fi eld, Quebec has chosen to adopt the so-called Interculturalism, which, however, has not been officially defi ned. The main legal instrument to manage religious diversityis reasonable accommodation, whose evaluation justified the establishment of the Bouchard-Taylor Commission. A global analysis shows that Quebec has not yet developed a fully finished model of diversity management or a clearly alternative to the one operating in the rest of Canada, apart from the primacy given toits own linguistic option.
