Today NCCM supported a motion at Queen’s Park calling for the condemnation of Mr. McVety’s hateful views. We were pleased to see this passed. Thank you to the Ontario NDP and Ontario Liberal Party / Parti Libéral de l'Ontario for bringing this motion forward, and for members of the PC caucus for listening to our concern. ... This is what engagement looks like.

The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) is asking today that the Ford government make the choice to condemn the extreme and hateful invective of Charles McVety and reverse the decision to make Canada Christian College into an accredited university. NCCM supports the motion brought forward by the Ontario NDP and supported by Ontario Liberal Party / Parti Libéral de l'Ontario to ask for the Ontario Legislature to condemn Mr. McVety’s views.

NCCM/CNMC comments on the new rules about Quebec’s pandemic response in the context of our challenge to #Loi21: Most members of Montreal’s Muslim community did not gather with other relatives during Ramadan, or Eid, the religious holiday that marks the end of the month-long dawn-to-sunset fast. This was the first time we were not able to celebrate Eid at the mosque and there were no big family gatherings at home, said Yusuf Faqiri, a representative of the Conseil national ...des musulmans canadiens. He said the Legault government is adopting a double standard by allowing gatherings for four days over Christmas. There needs to be consistency, Faqiri said. Members of the Jewish and Muslim communities have followed the rules, as we should, but why is there a double standard? It’s very disappointing. He pointed out that Legault has made allowances for people to gather at Christmas while his government is defending Bill 21, its secular law, in court. Bill 21 bans certain public servants from wearing religious symbols such as a hijab, kippah or turban. https://montrealgazette.com//religious-minorities-question
