A Conservative MP is calling on Ottawa to safeguard religious freedom in Canada after a Montreal church hosting a U.S. Christian singer was targeted by protesters and the artist was attacked with a smoke bomb.
Ontario MP Jamil Jivani has submitted a notice of motion to the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage asking it to take action on recent attacks on the freedom to worship in the nation. The parliamentary committee’s portfolio includes culture, heritage, and human rights.
