    This proposed ban represents discriminatory targeting of Muslim communities under the guise of neutrality. The legislation would violate the fundamental Charter rights that form the foundation of Canadian democracy. At a time when Quebecers face real challenges with healthcare, housing costs and living expenses, the government should focus on solving actual problems rather than policing citizens' constitutional rights.
