City of Montreal and Premier Philippe Couillard

Premier Philippe Couillard: Premier Philippe Couillard said the issue of freedom of expression is a delicate one, but added that municipal authorities made the right call, invoking public safety and the risk of radicalization to justify intervening, according to Metro News. City of Montreal officials said on the weekend they would not grant Hamza Chaoui an operating licence to open an Islamic centre in an east-end neighbourhood and The Premier of Quebec applauded a decision by Montreal authorities to deny an imam the right to open a community centre because of his past comments deemed homophobic, sexist, and against Canadian values. I am very pleased that the City of Montreal acted with the tools at their disposal, Couillard told reporters while attending a gathering of the aluminium industry Monday in the province Saguenay region, north of Quebec City.
