QUESTION PERIOD — Public Safety
Anti-Semitism
March 11, 2026
Thank you, Senator Moreau. My supplementary question is regarding anti-Semitism, which has been growing rather dangerously for many years but has become significantly worse in the last few days since the attack on Iran. There have been shootings at two synagogues in Canada and the American consulate in Toronto. I wonder if you could share with us the government’s views and plans to counter this violence and, basically, terrorism.
Thank you again for the question. First, the government is horrified by the reports of shots fired at synagogues and the U.S. Consulate General Toronto. Minister Anandasangaree stood with these communities over the weekend. Anti-Semitism has no place in Canada. No one should be afraid because of who they are or whom they worship. The government has been engaging with members of the Jewish community from coast to coast, who are rightfully worried about the rise of anti-Semitism —
Thank you, Senator Moreau.
