Bloc Québécois Party Leader Yves-François Blanchet is calling for the federal government’s recently appointed Special Representative on Combating Islamophobia to step down after meeting with her on Feb. 1.

“I think she is still hostile to the notion of a secular state. She still has biases to deal with regarding the Québécois nation,” Blanchet said today in French while speaking to reporters in Ottawa.
