'It is precisely because Quebecers are a French-speaking minority within Canada and North America that it shouldn’t be picking on other minorities; precisely because Quebec rightly wants to uphold equality of the sexes that it shouldn’t be telling Muslim women in particular what not to wear; precisely because Quebec is a modern, secular state that it doesn’t need to outlaw individual expressions of faith; precisely because Quebec is a distinct society with a proud history, culture and identity that it doesn’t need to squelch the identities of others.'
