An opt out clause that provinces have that allows them to prioritize cultural aspects higher than the constitution. We have a situation where a very controlling and supervisory religion does not want to allow any reformation or 'backsliding' in their adherence. That means in speech and dress they must conform to their religion - even though many of the younger ones dearly want to reform and/or 'backslide'. The priovince says while you work for us and are paid for us, you must dress like us. Do what you like at home/in private. A lot of Canadians do not want to deal with masked people in provincial offices or in the photo on their drivers licence or whatever, when those same Canadian are denied the ability to wear a mask. I have to admit that having a drivers licence of a masked women does not meet identification reality for that or for health or drug benefits. In fact, there have been many cases of people borrowing health(Free medical care cards in Canada) cards to use for non residents. Added to that is the large group of young muslims who want reformation and to shake islam off their boots.
