Yes. Actually, I reviewed that statement, and we have just completed the study, so I can.
The task we were given by Public Safety was to see to what extent government policy would lead to the stereotyping of Muslims. We looked at the law as it was written. We looked at your discussions in Parliament and in the House of Commons. We then looked at the mainstream media newspapers. My students told me to look at social media.
What you can actually see is that while the law obviously applies the same way to everyone alike, and the discussions in the House of Commons and in Parliament were fairly balanced, you can see more of those stereotypes coming out in the newspapers and even more in social media.
However, on this one, I have to kind of credit the Canadian media, and it's not often the case that I do that. They were very concerned about the fact that this law would target Muslims. They spoke critically about this, for the most part. However, at the same time, by always assuming that this law was there because there were Muslims, and while not all of them would be terrorists, that it would be among them, most likely, that you would find terrorists, in that sense they contributed to the stereotyping of a vulnerable group.
I think what it shows is that a law that may not intentionally target a particular group may ultimately lead to this. Once that genie is out of the bottle—revocation as a legitimate means to penalize someone and to punish someone—it is very difficult to contain.
