Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Quebec Deputy premier and Transport Minister Genevieve Guilbault and Quebec Minister Responsible for Infrastructure Jonathan Julien attend a ceremony marking the sixth anniversary of the deadly mosque shooting on Sunday, January 29, 2023 at the mosque in Quebec City.
With Ramadan just around the corner, national Muslim community groups say members of Parliament won't be welcome in their mosques unless they call for a ceasefire in Gaza, demand restoration of funding for the UN's Gaza aid agency and condemn what they call Israel's "war crimes.
The letter, which is being released today, also says MPs must oppose "the flow of arms and military equipment" to Israel and stand up for "the right of Canadians to express solidarity with the Palestinian people without fear of reprisal." Displaced Palestinians who fled their houses due to Israeli strikes gather in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip on February 19, 2024.
That ruling split the Liberal government caucus, with some MPs calling for an immediate ceasefire and others pushing back against the genocide claim. People protest in support of Palestine outside a Lunar New Year reception in Ottawa where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was scheduled to appear on Feb. 12, 2024.
