Bill 62 on religious neutrality was passed today in Quebec's National Assembly, making it illegal for anyone to wear face coverings while receiving public services — including taking a bus.

On top of those receiving a government service, the legislation also bans public workers like doctors, nurses, teachers and daycare workers from wearing any face covering, including the niqab or a burka.

The bill passed with a vote of 66-51.

Naturally, people have *thoughts* on Bill 62.

This woman just wants to stay dry.

This person accurately described how the other provinces likely feel.

And this person asked the right question.

Cold winter in Quebec, face covered. So I'm not allowed on a bus? Or because I'm white and blonde I'll be allowed? #Bill62#shameonquebecpic.twitter.com/8TKcYXgBLE — HeatherGStewart🇨🇦 (@hgracestewart) October 18, 2017

Montreal's mayoral candidate made her view clear.

Let me be clear: I'm unequivocally against #Bill62. As Mayor, I will defend the rights of all Montrealers. #polmtl#polqc — Valérie Plante (@Val_Plante) October 18, 2017

And this woman reminded the province that it gets real cold.

Hey Quebec, this was me on a bus last winter. #bill62pic.twitter.com/FcC4s4Bwfw — meg (@megmacs) October 18, 2017

This woman told everyone to stand up for those that need help.

If #Bill62 becomes law, it is all our responsibility to resist. If you see someone being harrassed on a bus, speak up, don't stand for it. — Leigh Kinch-Pedrosa (@Leigh_KP) October 18, 2017

This mama spoke the truth.

Telling women what that can't wear is no different than telling them what they must wear. #shameonQuebec

This person pointed out the irony of today's decision.

Saudi government: We're going to let women drive!



Quebec government: We're going to limit Muslim women's mobility! #Bill62 — neen (@the_ns) October 18, 2017

This man drew a compelling comparison.

And lastly, this person reminded us all that beards cover faces too.

Quebec women wearing face coverings can't ride the bus or be bus drivers, but David Letterman, Joe Thornton & Santa Claus can! #Bill62pic.twitter.com/bLzX3cceAe — Ugabug (@MaryPChipman) October 18, 2017
