   Remind us again, Mr Harper, which government denied funding for various   
   womens groups in Canada - closing 12 of their 16 offices;   
   - which government denied funding to foreign countries for contraception   
   devices and medications - and abortions;   
   - which government refuses to fund child care centres to free up women   
   to work outside the home;   
   - which Prime Minister called pay equity for women in Canada "a rip off";   
   - which government reduced funding for domestic violence against women -   
   a $ 4.8 Billion-a-year problem - to just $10 million a year;   
   - etc.   etc.  etc.    the list goes on and on.   
      
   But no one need to be reminded that your goverment caucus has an only   
   17% female representation . . .  and ranks 45th in national parliaments.   
      
   Yeah, you're worried about the niqab being rooted in an "anti-women"   
   culture, alright . . .

   Niqab controversy: Stephen Harper, Justin Trudeau wade into culture war   
   over the veil   
   An election year, a terror bill and a culture conflict — what could   
   possibly go wrong?   
      
   The Federal Court has struck down the federal government's ban on   
   wearing the niqab while taking the citizenship oath. The prime minister   
   has called the ruling 	'offensive' and promises to appeal it.
