In 2019, the Quebec National Assembly passed Bill 21. It prohibits, among other things, certain state employees in positions of authority (including teachers, prison guards, police officers, and justices of the peace) from wearing religious symbols when providing public services. Many political commentators denounced the move as running counter to Canadian multiculturalism and human rights. Why did the government adopt this form of state secularism? And why did it garner public support? The Challenges of a Secular Quebec provides illuminating answers to these questions and explores why many Quebecers consider the law legitimate. Contributors analyze the statute from different angles to provide a nuanced, respectful discussion of its intentions and principles. Given the province’s singular history in North America, the merits of the initiative to separate church and state must be considered within the Quebec context. The Challenges of a Secular Quebec calls for a legal interpretation of Bill 21 that is sensitive to this difference.

Si le processus de laïcisation du Québec peut certes être analysé sous l’angle des rapports de force entre les milieux catholiques et les instances étatiques, l’ouvrage insiste sur son enchevêtrement profond avec un autre processus, celui de la sécularisation.
Le champ de la néphrologie pédiatrique couvre des pathologies très variées, allant de l'infection urinaire et ses causes aux syndromes rares et à la transplantation rénale. Les patients pris en charge pour le dépistage et le traitement de ces maladies vont du fœtus à l'âge adulte. Cette spécialité nécessite une formation mixte de néphrologie et de médecine de l'enfant, mais ne pourrait exister sans d'étroites connexions avec l'urologie, l'immunologie, la génétique, l'infectiologie, l'anatomie pathologique, la réanimation, l'obstétrique, l'imagerie, la physiologie, la pédopsychiatrie, la biologie moléculaire, la biochimie, la biologie cellulaire, la médecine interne, la rhumatologie, la pharmacologie, l'endocrinologie, etc. Cet ouvrage, coordonné par Pierre Cochat et Etienne Bérard, est destiné à celles et ceux, néphrologues d'adulte ou pédiatres, qui souhaitent investir la spécialité (internes, assistants, étudiants du DIU) mais aussi à celles et ceux, plus expérimentés, qui côtoient les maladies rénales aiguës ou chroniques et qui ont besoin d'une vision globale de ces pathologies pour mieux les appréhender.
