Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Last week, two respected Canadian Muslim religious leaders and Islamic scholars, Ahmed Kutty and Abdool Hamid, travelled to Florida to lead prayer services. Instead, they were handcuffed, thrown in jail, interrogated and kicked out of the United States.
Why has the Liberal government not called for a full independent inquiry and apology and why has it not protested this shameful racist treatment of these and too many other Muslim and Arab Canadians?
