Mr. Speaker, when the Quebec Soccer Federation decides to follow FIFA rules, which prohibit the wearing of turbans, Conservative ministers and the Liberal leader shout about intolerance.
By supporting the suspension of the Quebec Soccer Federation, they are preventing thousands of young Quebec players from participating in Canadian and international competitions. These people are criticizing the Quebec Soccer Federation for following the international federation's rules. Rather than attacking young soccer players in Quebec, we need to ask FIFA to consider changing its rules.
Will the minister responsible for amateur sport intervene and call for the reintegration of the Quebec Soccer Federation, which simply decided to follow the rules?
