Madam Speaker, we may have a piece of the answer. Over the past few months, the media have been reporting that members of the Muslim community are dissatisfied with some of the Liberal government's actions.
According to Radio-Canada, a Muslim group was even threatening to cut off its $680,000 contribution to the Liberal Party. It would be quite something if they went to the NDP and the Conservatives. The Liberal solution, as always, is to propose a tailored solution to keep them happy.
Is including halal mortgages in the budget an olive branch extended to a fringe component of the Muslim community?
