In yesterday's budget, $432 million was allocated to combat terrorism, but not a single cent was put towards non-police-based intervention.
I'm going to come back to you, Mr. Rafiq. I think we're going down the wrong path. Recently, in Montreal, seven young people left for Syria. These were young people who were seeing self-proclaimed imams.
Shouldn't we work with moderate Muslim communities to steer these young people towards various programs? Shouldn't we put money towards employment integration projects and positive solutions for these types of young people?
