That is correct, Madam Chair. Thank you.
I was struck by a number of comments made today about the importance of freedom of expression, particularly when it comes to matters of faith.
Ms. Al-Azem, when you spoke, one of the things you didn't touch on—and I'm wondering if you could—was the chilling impact on the freedom of expression of Muslim women during the time Conservatives proposed a ban on the niqab. It was not long ago.
Can you share your views on the propriety of a ban like that and what it does when it comes to freedom of expression nationally?
