Do not care if you agree or not. Just as long as everyone's religion or lack of one, is treated equally. Accommodate if you can, but only if it does not break any laws we now have. Do not make any new one's to cover what you do not like.

Has too much time on their hands
In Canada we show our faces and we are obliged to do so by law. So you want Canada to make special arrangements for women who wear this clothing?
That is special treatment we can't afford and one hell of a slippery slope to start going down.
If I had my way religion would not carry any weight in any way. You come to Canada YOU fit in not the other way around.
My folks came to Canada and they had assimilate to Canadian culture.
If you want to live in this country then follow our laws. If not, there is a plane at Pearson that can take you back where you can hide who you are and no one cares.

When I go for photo ID I have to remove my GLASSES! When a LEO compares me with my ID they often ask me to remove my glasses. What happens when I have total face covering?

Yes but Canadian culture allows us to practice our faith in peace and that is why my parents immigrated to Canada. They left the wooden shoes behind and only wore them while gardening.lol
If we were a communist country then we would be stripped of our religious practice and would worship in secret out of fear of being found out. Really not sure what your thoughts or how accurate your understanding of Canadian culture is but I am sure that is one of reasons why many immigrate to Canada is to practice ones faith in peace.

Your parents and my parents did not come to Canada and expect Canada to change its laws to suit them. They assimilated to the Canadian way of life.
If part of your religion contravenes law then that part of your religion cannot be executed. It's that damn simple. It needs to be this way.

What happens when they are born here ,and are as Canadian as anyone else can claim to be? Send them home...they ARE home. It would be a small accommodation to have their identity confirmed by another female. Just like having females frisked by a female officer. No big deal, don't make it one because you as a private citizen want to see their face, the government does have that right ..for a moment, to confirm identity, you do not.
