(Canadian Press) A major Muslim charity is calling a new court ruling a green light for government overreach after losing its latest bid to halt a Canada Revenue Agency audit.
The Muslim Association of Canada says the Ontario Court of Appeal decision will allow Ottawa to infringe the Charter rights of Canadians with impunity.
The association, known as MAC, promotes community service, education and youth empowerment, and says over 150,000 Canadians use its mosques, schools and community centres each year.
It contends that a long-running revenue agency audit of its activities is fundamentally tainted by systemic bias and Islamophobia.
