A draft constitution tabled two months ago by the Quebec government was supposed to be a unifying declaration of Quebecers' common values, but it has instead been denounced as ill-conceived, divisive and authoritarian.
Critics say the constitution bill would erode human rights and limit dissent, and could reopen an unnecessary debate on abortion. Some civil society groups are calling for it to be withdrawn outright.
