Quebec in Canada bars women wearing face covering veils from using public services like ambulances, buses and libraries

Quebec in Canada  will become North America's first province to ban its citizens from wearing face coverings

The Quebec National Assembly moved to adopt Bill 62 on Wednesday Oct 18,2017

The bill bans anyone from covering their face while giving or receiving public services such as medical care, public transport or using the library

The legislation passed 66 to 51 with the majority Liberal party pushing the law

Montreal's Mayor Denis Coderre denounced the bill, saying his city will be affected the most by the new legislation

Critics also say that Bill 62 targets a small minority for nothing more than political gain

Supporters of the bill say the law enshrines respect for public discourse and communication
