A new draft bill by the National Council of Canadian Muslims calls on Parliament to formally recognize the state of Palestine, marking what the group says would be a historic step in Canadian foreign policy, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
“What is happening right now in Gaza is one of the great moral issues of our time, if not the greatest,” CEO of the National Council Stephen Brown told reporters.
“This doesn’t bode well for us as Canadians … First model legislation in Canadian history that charts our own course as a nation on Palestinian human rights.”
