My speech on my motion M-153, on a National Day of Solidarity with Victims of Anti-religious Bigotry and Violence

May 31, 2019

Here is my speech on my Private Members’ Motion M-153, to create a National Day of Solidarity with Victims of Anti-religious Bigotry and Violence.

Here is the text of my motion:

“That the House recognize that acts of violence and bigotry directed against religious believers, such as the June 23, 1985, bombing of Air India Flights 182 and 301, the September 15, 2001, firebombing of the Hindu Samaj Temple and the Hamilton Mountain Mosque, the April 5, 2004, firebombing of Montreal’s United Talmud Torah Jewish school, and the January 29, 2017, murder of Muslims at the Quebec City Islamic Cultural Centre, are inimical to a free, peaceful, and plural society and declare January 29 of every year as National Day of Solidarity with Victims of Anti-religious Bigotry and Violence.”
