I don't have a problem with this law at all. It's in-line with many European countries' legislation banning the burqa, and also in-line with the opinion of German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, who supported Germany's burqa ban for the sake of equality and integration. (According to Ms Merkel, it is impossible for a woman wearing a burqa to integrate into German society.) It's also in-line with the opinion of 87% of the Quebec population.

"It feels sad that it's pioneering now by stigmatizing a religious minority and trying to restrict their sense of being welcomed into public space, the public sphere, and getting public services," Mr. Leckey said.

How can anyone wearing a burqa complain that they're being stigmatized and restricted in the public sphere? Wearing a burqa means, by definition, cutting yourself off, rendering yourself invisible, making yourself an unidentifiable person and a non-person. It's your own fault.
