Member Bill: Citizenship Oath and Quebec Mp

member bill: The Quebec MP and former public safety minister said he would re-introduce his 2011 private member bill that called for voters to uncover their faces before casting their ballots, according to CTV. He said he would amend the bill to include those swearing the citizenship oath and to include federal public servants. We have and we need to protect and preserve the equality of women and men, and we live in a free and democratic society," Blaney said on the lawn of Parliament Hill in Monday. The niqab became a hot topic ahead of the last federal election when the then-Conservative government went to court to argue it could force women to remove their niqabs before taking the citizenship oath. In an interview with Don Martin, host of CTV Power Play, Blaney compared women who wear the niqab to Quebec women in the 1970s who needed their husbands' permission to have a caesarean section. One of the Liberals' first acts after assuming government was to end that court fight. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
