Citizenship Ceremonies and Larry Miller

Larry Miller: The MP for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound appeared on local call-in show Open Line with Bill Murdoch where he disagreed with a federal court ruling that struck down a ban on face-covering veils during citizenship ceremonies, according to Metro News. If you re not willing to show your face in the ceremony, that you re joining the best country in the world, Miller added. Frankly, if you don t like that or don t want to do that, stay the hell where you came from and Ontario Conservative MP Larry Miller advised women who choose to wear a face-covering niqab during citizenship ceremonies should stay where the hell you came from. It more a legal system than it is a justice system, Miller replied a caller took issue with the veils sometimes worn by Muslim women, saying I know it wrong for them to be worn during the ceremonies.
