Quebec passes law forcing Muslim women from wearing niqab while using public services

Apparently this applies to staff at the Provincial and municipal level providing public services (including public transit), as well as those receiving the services.

The bill requires citizens giving and receiving public services to do so with their faces uncovered, and is seen as "... necessary for "communication reasons, identification reasons and security reasons."

I'm Canadian. Their are good logical reasons for this, but I feel in Quebec it is more to protect their French culture and identity.

@JimboSaturn could be. Quebec has always been very self-focussed and very much an outlier in much of Canadian politics
