Montreal's public transit agency STM will ban employees from praying on its property starting September 1, 2026, under Quebec's expanded secularism law Bill 9. The policy affects four rooms previously used for quiet activities including prayer, which will remain available for meditation and yoga. Muslim organizations have criticized the move as discriminatory, arguing it interferes with religious freedom, while the law builds on Quebec's earlier Bill 21 restricting religious symbols for public-sector workers.
