Toronto (Canada), June 1 (ANI): Not everyone in Canada is looking forward to hosting royal newlyweds Prince William and Princess Katherine.
Canadian Muslim lawmaker Amir Khadir has described it as a huge waste of public funds.
The Globe and Mail quoted the Qu?bec Solidaire National Assembly member, as saying in an interview with the Journal de Qu?bec: " All this to welcome these parasites!"
Khadir, an outspoken politician whose remarks have put him in the spotlight before, deplored the expenditure of public funds on the couple's visit - their first international foray since their wedding last month.
"If we were welcoming someone because he had extraordinary ideas or had done remarkable things, I'd like that. But to do this with someone who has blue blood, whose sole merit is his ancestry, that bothers me," he said.
William and Kate plan to visit Montreal and Quebec City July 2 and 3, after spending Canada Day in Ottawa.
Quebec's Minister of Foreign Relations and Minister of La Francophonie, Monique Gagnon-Tremblay, has welcomed their visit. (ANI)
