Mouvement laïque québécois v Saguenay (City)
is a Canadian administrative law case, dealing with the effect of a prayer held at the beginning of a municipal council session on the state's duty of neutrality in relation to freedom of conscience and freedom of religion. It has implications for all levels of government in Canada, and several cities announced changes to drop the use of prayers before municipal meetings.
== Background ==
The City of Saguenay mayor Jean Tremblay (2002 to 2015) opened public city council sessions by reciting the following prayer:
Tremblay would also make the sign of the Cross while saying "in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit," in the Roman Catholic tradition. Council chambers in La Baie and Chicoutimi, two communities amalgamated with Saguenay, featured a crucifix and a Sacred Heart emblem.〔SCC, par. 5–7〕
In 2006, Alain Simoneau, an atheist who regularly attended council meetings, asked Tremblay to stop the prayers, claiming that they infringed on his freedom of conscience. When Tremblay refused, the Mouvement laïque québécois (MLQ), a non-profit organization supporing secularization, filed a complaint with the ''Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse'' on his behalf. In 2008, Saguenay's city council passed a by-law amending the language of the prayer and scheduling the prayer before the official opening of council sessions; however, the councillors continued to act as before.〔SCC, par. 13〕
