Mr. Speaker, Claims · 74 wordsI rise today regarding a deeply troubling complaint filed with the Canada Revenue Agency targeting 11 Jewish schools in Montreal and Toronto.¹ These schools are essential pillars of Jewish life in Canada. They exist to teach language, history, culture and identity, just as faith-based schools across this country do. For months, there has been a coordinated effort to mis-characterize Jewish schools, to strip them of funding and to undermine their place in Canadian society. Procedure · 4 wordsLet me be clear: ProcedureReasoning · 15 wordsAttacking Jewish schools or Jewish day camps is a direct attack on Canadian Jewish life. The ask · 19 wordsThe CRA must be unequivocally clear that it will not allow tax laws to be weaponized against any group. Claims · 34 wordsJewish schools in this country have already faced serious threats, including repeated gunfire attacks.² All Canadians have a right to be safe and feel safe; this includes Canadian Jews and this includes Canadian children. The ask · 18 wordsI hope all members of the House will join me in denouncing these attacks on Jewish community institutions.
