Oddly, almost this exact issue was a major issue in the recent Canadian federal election. The Conservative government attempted to ban niqabs during citizenship ceremonies. They went so far as to appeal lower court rulings that doing so was against the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. They lost the election and the new Liberal government ended the attempt to ban the Niqab.<p>Interestingly, as the Conservative government kept falling in the polls, they even said that they would consider banning Niqabs for public servants!! It sounds so bizarre that a sitting Canadian government would suggest such a thing, but the 2015 federal election was a first class, direct flight to bizarro world.<p>This is the best article that I can find on this issue. It isn&#x27;t great, but if I have more time later, I&#x27;ll replace it with a better citation.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nationalpost.com&#x2F;m&#x2F;wp&#x2F;blog.html?b=news.nationalpost.com&#x2F;&#x2F;news&#x2F;canada&#x2F;liberals-end-attempt-to-ban-niqabs-from-citizenship-ceremonies-started-by-harper-government" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nationalpost.com&#x2F;m&#x2F;wp&#x2F;blog.html?b=news.nationalpo...</a><p><i>On a style note, I have no idea if the word niqab should be capitalized. My iPhone autocorrects it to be capitalized, but it doesn&#x27;t look correct. Can anyone help?</i>
