Ottawa's new anti-Islamophobia advisor is facing backlash | Global News
January 31, 2023 | As National Assembly resumes in Quebec City, hostilities between the provincial and federal governments are heating up.

In an interview Pearl Eliadis said: " They've created a sort of new state framework... that is attempting to cleanse from the state apparatus, if you will, any suggestion of religious views." She stated that any restriction of fundamental rights should be evidence-based and that there is no clear evidence that these people are doing the kinds of things that the secularist Quebec are worried about.
