Anti Semitism: Parliamentary Committee

Police Services Dept: The Canadian Parliamentary Coalition to Combat Anti-Semitism released its final report Thursday in Ottawa after two years of investigation that included public hearings with more than 70 witnesses, according to CBC. The all-party panel began public hearings in late 2009 that lasted four months and members also reviewed written submissions. Representatives from academia, police services, universities, and other stakeholders were among the witnesses and the federal government needs to take more action to combat rising anti-Semitism in Canada and around the world, a report by a panel of MPs concludes. "Anti-Semitism is one of the oldest and most pervasive forms of hatred," Mario Silva, chair of the committee, said at a news conference. The former Liberal MP, who was defeated in the May 2 election, said anti-Semitism is still present in Canada and a parliamentary committee needed to be formed to identify measures to fight it.
