At the end of last month, Quebec's provincial government introduced a bill that aims to expand it's authority to restrict religious expression in public. It would ban group prayer in public spaces like parks, stop public institutions from serving only halal or kosher foods and prevent universities from providing prayer rooms and interfaith spaces for religious students. Host Carolyn Beeler speaks to Haseeb Hassaan from the National Council of Canadian Muslims to hear more about this law and why it was introduced.
