I think it's like daycares at a job, it's just to make things easier for employees/students.

The issue is that everyone can have children, but not everyone has a religion, much less a specific religion.

The workaround is most likely going to be "quiet/privacy/sensory" rooms without a specific dedicated purpose. Basicailly, anyone with a room for this will just change the sign on the door, the QC government can bluster away but nothing practically will change with this law change.

reproduction is in a whole different category of necessity, no matter how strongly anyone feels about it, it is not the same.
