Speaker of the House Ted Arnott banned the wearing of the traditional Palestinian scarves after he said it appeared to him the keffiyeh was being worn to make a political statement.
Jama, who represents Hamilton Centre, was asked to remove the keffiyeh, but refused. She was then asked to leave, however, remains in the chambers and has refused so far.
