Excerpt:
A proposed ban in Quebec's public service against the niqab, a veil worn by some Muslim women, stirred up a fierce debate this week in the mostly French-speaking Canadian province.
Widely supported in Canada, Bill 94 would require Quebec public servants and anyone accessing a provincial government service to show their face.
But Indian-Canadian Tasneen Mughal, who wears the veil, says it is "an attack on Muslims."
She told AFP she would rather leave Quebec with her husband and their two children and move to neighboring Ontario province than give up her niqab.
