No kirpans will be permitted inside Quebec’s National Assembly.
The Supreme Court of Canada refused on Thursday to hear an appeal from a man and woman — both of them Sikhs — who were refused access to the province’s legislature because they refused to surrender the ceremonial dagger that has already been legally recognized as part of their religious observance.
The Supreme Court’s decision essentially upholds two lower court rulings that found the National Assembly acted within its parliamentary privilege in denying entry to the pair, privilege which is not subject to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
