How is it a specious argument when it applies to women in Quebec right now? It's the exact situation that exists. 

It doesn't matter if it is a requirement or not. Only if the face is covered. 

So much confusion here--obvious with your line about religious freedoms. Freedom of religion is a Charter right. Whether it is religious, or a simply a belief of conscience doesn't matter. The Charter gives people the right to do to express their own beliefs. Not one person here has explained to the contrary. 

Explain how allowing a Muslim women to wear a niqab puts her rights about yours? What right of yours is being affected? You do not have a right to see the faces of people around you. It's not in the Charter. That is why your post & so many others is nonsense. 

Calling me names, and insulting my intelligence doesn't change the legal reality of the Charter of Rights. Carry on downvoting, and remember the few us who told you how wrong you were when this law is declared unconstitutional.
