<p> Supreme Court of Canada 301 Wellington Street Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0J1</p><p>(Re): Case 100468</p><p>Plaintiff’s Name: Benazir Testimony: Ahmed “I am a conservative Muslim as part of my Age: 21 religion I do not take off my burqa in public in order to be modest as required by my faith. The Alberta government will not let me get a driver’s From: Sunnyvale, Alberta licence because I will not allow my picture to be taken with my burqa on.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Woman_in_burqa,_Aleppo.j pg</p><p>Defendant’s Name: Duncan Testimony: Smithee “The Alberta government respects all religions and works to ensure that all religious groups feel Position: Minister of welcome in our province. However, we also Transportation for Alberta value the security of our citizens and the Government protection of our society. Ms. Ahmed’s religious dedication is admirable, but it directly conflicts Age: 56 with the standards that my department has created in order to combat identity theft, illegal purchasing of controlled substances such as From: Edmonton, Alberta tobacco and alcohol and security within government buildings when photo identification is required. The reality of Ms. Ahmed’s situation is that a police officer would not know who she is and that is unacceptable. We are not forcing her to stop wearing a burqa, but she must realize that if we do not demand an accurate photo for her driver’s licence, we could not demand anyone else in society to have one taken and that is unequal treatment.</p><p>Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms What type of right is this? being challenged in the testimony: □ Collective rights □ Fundamental Freedoms □ Individual rights □ Democratic Rights □ Both □ Mobility Rights □ Legal Rights Evidence from the testimony that supports □ Equality Rights your selection above: □ Official Languages of Canada □ Minority Language Educational Rights □ Enforcement</p><p>Specific evidence in the testimony to support that being the charter challenge: Is this a violation of the plaintiff’s Charter If this is a violation, is it a reasonable limit rights? that can be justified in a free and democratic society? □ Yes □ No □ Yes □ No What evidence do you have that suggests it is or is not?
