Quebec politicians must swear oath to King Charles to sit in legislature: Speaker
The 14 Quebec politicians who refused to swear an oath to the King after the Oct. 3 election must do so or risk expulsion from the legislature, the outgoing Speaker said Tuesday.
Those two opposition parties — both of which advocate for Quebec’s sovereignty from Canada — have described the practice of swearing an oath of office to the monarch as archaic and have asked the other parties to help find a workaround. “In the event that a person refuses to comply with this prohibition, the sergeant-at-arms will be legitimized to expel them.”
