Some members of the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) are pushing for a ban on face coverings in public places, but the province has not confirmed whether it will act on the proposal.
The party originally planned to consider a ban on masked protesters at its weekend convention in Gatineau, but an amendment calling for a complete ban on face coverings in public received support from more than half of party members, including from Secularism and French-language Minister Jean-François Roberge.
