Hon. Andrew Cardozo: My question is for the Government Representative. Senator Moreau, I would like to follow up on the question and answer we had yesterday with regards to anti-Semitism. About the time we were talking, the government made a new announcement in response to the growing scourge of anti-Semitism in Canada. Could you tell us more about the announcement they made with regards to the Canada Community Security Program?

Hon. Pierre Moreau (Government Representative in the Senate): Thank you for the question.

The government announced a dedicated investment of up to $10 million to be provided to eligible organizations through the Canada Community Security Program. This investment will assist Jewish communities in enhancing the security of their gathering spaces, including schools, daycares, overnight camps and places of worship.

As I mentioned yesterday, any hate-motivated violence, like what we saw in Toronto over the last week, is unacceptable and will not be tolerated anywhere in Canada. The government is working directly with Jewish community organizations to identify and support the specific needs in those communities as far as security is concerned.
