Transcript: RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS - Canada's role regarging Reigion tends to be neutral - Canada promotes multiculturalism The decision was that Gurbaj was allowed to wear his Kirpan under certain regulations - was appealed and overturned by the Quebec Court of Appeal The Court of Appeal found that allowing the Kirpan would violate and undermine the schools safety and this decision is what stands. Gurbaj later had to transfer to a private school where he was allowed to wear his Kirpan. Do you think that not allowing children to wear the Kirpan to school is not only a violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms but also ethically wrong? The school felt that it was their responsibility to keep their students safe and therefore couldn't allow weapons on school property. Religious Connection In 2001, he dropped the Kirpan from under his clothes and the school initially said that Gurbaj was allowed to wear his Kirpan provided that it be sealed within his clothing.

September of 2015, Prime Minister Stephen Harper told reporters that it is "offensive that someone would hide their identity at the very moment when they're committing to join the Canadian family." The elections are coming. And if Thomas Mulcair is elected, there will be a big beautiful pipeline coming, even if we don’t want it. And, even if you’re not in agreement with people wearing the niqab to vote or to be sworn in, Thomas Mulcair, he is! It’s the drop too much. The last straw, I’m returning to the Bloc.

The niqab in Canada The Old Testament proclaims, "Once they enter the gates of the court," implying God's court, "they are to wear linen vestments. They shall wear linen turban." Elsewhere in the Old Testament, the significance of the turban is further highlighted: He put the turban upon his head and set the gold rosette as symbol of holy dedication on the front of the turban as the Lord had commanded him.
