Speaker Ted Arnott says the kaffiyeh can be worn in the Ontario legislative building — but not in the chamber itself.
Shortly after his remarks during Monday’s question period — which he said were to clarify his previous ruling that banned the black-and-white scarves at Queen’s Park — three MPPs were told to leave the chamber for donning kaffiyehs, which they did.
New Democrats Kristyn Wong-Tam (Toronto Centre), Joel Harden (Ottawa Centre) and former NDP now Independent MPP Sarah Jama told reporters after that they disagree with the ban.
