OTTAWA—Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet has rejected an apology from Ottawa’s point-person on tackling Islamophobia, slamming Amira Elghawaby and demanding her ouster for what he deemed her “ignorance … of the desire for secularism in Quebec.”
Blanchet told reporters on Thursday that he had wanted to speak to Elghawaby before deciding whether her comments warranted her departure from the role of special representative on combating Islamophobia.
