“In December 2024, my committee gave governments and police recommendations on what to do. Jewish people in Canada do not feel safe anymore, and Jewish schools should not need guards. We will work with every level of government to stop people from hating Jews.”
“Mr. Speaker, in December 2024, the justice committee, of which I was a part, put out a report. It recommended to governments across the country, the federal government, provincial governments, municipal governments, and police and universities what we thought they should do in this circumstance. We need to show leadership. The Prime Minister will show leadership and has shown leadership on this issue. It is unacceptable that the Jewish community of Canada does not feel as safe as it used to feel. Jewish schools should not have to have guards in front of them. We will work incessantly to make sure every level of government in the country works with us to solve the crisis of anti-Semitism.”
