(Canadian Press) Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government is “extremely concerned” about recent reports that Muslim charities are being unfairly targeted for federal audits and sanctions.
Trudeau told a news conference Tuesday the Liberal government is looking “very closely at our processes,” adding it is unacceptable to single out any particular community.
“We do have important work to do to make sure that charitable organizations are following all the rules involved,” Trudeau said.
“But recognizing that systemic racism exists in all of our institutions, in all of our governments and all of our organizations, means listening to communities who point out barriers or discrimination that they’re facing and pledging to work with them to solve these challenges.”
