-- TORONTO -- Canadians overwhelmingly support having Muslim women remove their veils to take the citizenship oath, a poll shows.
Forum Research released figures Thursday showing a whopping 81% of those polled support having women who wear the niqab, or veil, remove it when they swear allegiance during citizenship ceremonies.
“We don’t get a lot of numbers in the 80% range in the polling business,” Forum President Lorne Bozinoff said.
“This is very unusual having people fairly unanimous on an issue like this.”
