Even before October 7, the Palestinian community had suffered from a policy versus implementation issue.
We had the coalition and we issued a study about policy versus implementation. We shared it with most of Parliament. We state in our foreign policy on our website that we believe in a two-state solution, yet Canada recognizes one state and doesn't recognize the other.
On policy versus implementation, we go to the United Nations and vote against our own policies that we state in our official practice. The Palestinian community has seen this throughout this whole year, and when that part about officially recognizing Palestine was removed from the table, the whole Palestinian community was boiling.
