Federal Court Appeal and Charter Rights Freedoms

federal election: That legislation ultimately died on the order paper after the federal election was called, but the Conservatives have promised — if re-elected — they would introduce and adopt legislation banning face coverings during citizenship oaths within the first 100 days, according to Huffington Post Canada. A Federal Court of Appeal ruled last week that a woman could wear a niqab while swearing the oath. When the Conservatives tabled legislation last June to ban the wearing of niqabs at citizenship ceremonies, they said it respected the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The federal government is currently seeking a stay of that court decision. In the ad, released last Friday, the Bloc warns a new pipeline is coming "even if we don't want it," if Tom Mulcair NDP wins the election.
