Liberal MP Chris Bittle is apologizing for implying that University of Ottawa professor Michael Geist was racist during a Twitter dispute.
The tweet stemmed from an argument the two were having about a recent controversy over funding the government had provided to the Community Media Advocacy Centre (CMAC) for an anti-racism project.
Housing, Diversity and Inclusion Minister Ahmed Hussen pulled CMAC’s funding earlier this week after one of the group’s senior members, Laith Marouf, made antisemitic comments on social media.
