Alberta Premier Rachel Notley has reluctantly weighed in on how way minority rights are being debated on the federal campaign trail. Notley was asked if she had any concerns with the way the federal Conservatives are campaigning about forcing Muslim women to removes their niqabs while taking the citizenship oath.

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau and Green Party Leader Elizabeth May oppose the ban.)
