Testimony by CCI Executive Director Imam Sikander Hashmi at the Standing Senate Committee on Human Rights on May 25, 2026.
For months, we have been working alongside other national Muslim groups to address the challenges posed by Bill C-9. Alhamdulillah, we had the chance to address the Senate committee studying the bill as part of the parliamentary process. We focused on the Bill’s potential impacts on religious freedoms, while other Muslim groups addressed the other challenges.
