Zunera Ishaq

edit
  • that the fiery debate that intensified and became increasingly divisive during the 2015 Canadian federal election campaign, centred on Zunera Ishaq's successful legal challenge of the ban on wearing the niqāb during her swearing in ceremony to become a Canadian citizen and ended when the Liberal party won the election and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau chose to not politicize the niqāb?
  • ALT1: In her first act as Justice Minister, Jody Wilson-Raybould, officially withdrew any challenge to Zunera Ishaq's rights and added that the policy of the Liberal government was to respect values such as diversity and inclusion that define Canadian identity.
