OC Transpo won’t follow a new Quebec law that forces people receiving a public service to uncover their faces, with Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson dismissing the law as “a thinly-veiled appeal to populist sentiment.”
Transpo’s bus services stretch into Gatineau and buses with the Société de transport de l’Outaouais serve parts of downtown Ottawa.
Watson wrote to Quebec Premier Phillippe Couillard on Wednesday, telling him that the premier shouldn’t expect the City of Ottawa to follow the new Quebec law.
“I trust you have no expectation that the City of Ottawa’s bus drivers, who also serve residents of the City of Gatineau, will take any steps to enforce this legislation and, to be abundantly clear, they will be instructed not to. The City of Ottawa will not be a party to this infringement of constitutional freedoms,” Watson wrote in his letter.
