Senate Study on Antisemitism in Canada
Official title: Examine and report on antisemitism in Canada
The Senate's Human Rights Committee is examining antisemitism across Canada. They want to understand how it affects Jewish Canadians and what can be done about it. This is a parliamentary study that could shape future laws and policies.
Why This Matters
Hate crimes against Jewish Canadians have been rising. This study could lead to new protections for religious minorities. If you've witnessed antisemitism or have ideas about combating hate, senators want to hear from you.
What Could Change
The committee's findings could lead to new federal legislation on hate crimes. Recommendations might include better tracking of antisemitic incidents, enhanced security funding for Jewish institutions, or educational initiatives in schools.
