Oath of Allegiance

95.13EM Emergency Resolution: Oath of Allegiance

Whereas, Canada is a constitutional monarchy and the Queen is our Head of State; and,

Whereas, The Crown is an integral part of Canada’s identity as a nation; and,

Whereas, We believe it essential that the Citizenship Oath continue to include allegiance to the Queen of Canada; therefore be it,

RESOLVED, That The National Council of Women of Canada urge the Government of Canada (Department of Citizenship and Immigration) to withdraw their proposal to remove all reference to the Queen from the Oath of Allegiance.
