I believe women are free to choose to dress as they wish inshaallah. If a woman feels she is more closer to Allah by covering her face, then inshaAllah, it should be ok. Furthermore, the spirit of multiculturism in Canada will be affected negatively if the niqab is banned in schools.
Freedom to wear what you want, yet in certain places should not be alowed. Banks etc etc
Theres no problem if some woman working at the bank sees her face to verify that its really her. So it should be alright to wear in the bank, even if women do see her face. The guys dont have to.

I mean entering a bank. Those that work there are of no issue

It is possible that there are some jobs where it is essential for everybody to be able to see the persons face. However, I believe those are dwindling. Although the reason given is the need for posititve identification of the person. But, there are more accurate means of positive identification then seeing the face. Seeing the face may be a fast and easy means of identification, but I would not call it absolute. My two daughters when they were in school looked identical. My youngest one would use her sisters name every time she got in trouble. My oldest daughter was the one who got all of the punishments. Now there was "Posisitive" identification based on people seeing my youngest daughters face. But, it was not who they thought.
We didn't find out about that until long after they had finished school and my youngest finally told what she had done.
So seeing a person's face is no guarantee of positive ID.

OOPs I was typing as you where posting. I can see that point. I veiled woman entering a bank, does not necessarily mean it is a veiled woman or even Muslim. The possibility is it could be a disguise and if the person is entering for the purpose of robbing the bank, I doubt if they would present any valid identification.
I am so slow today i feel like that by the time I submit a reply so many posts have gone by, I'm no longer on the same thread. I think today I better stick to inactive threads. I may keep up with them

That's what i meant - when a muslim woman walks in with the niqaab, she can show her face to a woman working in the bank. And the guys don't have to stare.
salaam
why are people so fussy about what muslim women wear and yet it seems
perfectly normal for other women to walk around in their mini skirts...
women should be given the choice of what to wear
wa salaam
Sikhs should not be allowed to carry their kirpans in the bank, or for that matter in any public place, except their homes and their temples.
Yes they obstruct the face don't they...
BTW- Never has a case been where a Sikh has used his/her Kirpan for any purpose...plus you have to be in a higher state of mind to wear one. Something you'd know zilch about...
Try to stop it if you can!!
