I'm a Liberal and support multiculturalism but the burqa is over-the-top. Let's have a national referendum on this issue. 

Practice your culture at home to your heart's content. The cultural norm across Canada is western dress or modified e.g. Sikh men wearing their turbans like the very elegant Jagmeet Singh. 

The burqa cloth covering is equivalent to the cloth hood of the Klu Klux Klan in terms of anonymity. In this era of domestic terrorism, public safety first. What's stopping a suicide bomber from using a burqa to walk into a crowd?  Our police forces have a right to "see" who they are dealing with. Burqa wearers should not be exempt from security video surveillance either.

They are a safety hazard - vision could be blocked if the burqa shifts while driving. They harbour germs because droplets from respiration, potential sneezing and coughing. There's also no way for wearer of burqas to produce Vitamin D all cloaked up so wearers are at risk for deficiency-related conditions.
