“Hating Jewish people is a crisis in Canada. That is why our government condemned the recent events in Montreal, introduced a bill against hate crimes, and spent more money to protect Jewish communities.”

“Mr. Speaker, I agree with the member. There is a crisis of anti-Semitism in Canada. That is why the government denounced, through the Minister of Public Safety, what happened in Montreal last weekend. That is why we put forward the combatting hate act to listen to the demands that the Jewish community has been making for the last three years. That is why we augmented funding for Jewish community security across the country. The Prime Minister and every single member of this caucus is committed to the safety of Jewish communities across the country.”

“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.”
