German-Jewish Community: Halle Armed Attack - Member's Statement

CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : Mr. Speaker, I rise to offer my sympathies to the German people and the German-Jewish community impacted today by an armed attack in Halle. Our thoughts are with Jewish communities around the world, who are gathered today to mark Yom Kippur.

Our synagogues, mosques, churches, and temples should be places of safety. Anti-Semitism, racism, and violence have no place in our communities.

I will continue to stand with those who work hard to advance and celebrate diversity and to build inclusive spaces, and I know my colleagues in this Chamber will join me in that effort.

THE SPEAKER « » : The honourable member for Lunenburg.
