Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm very sorry about this. One of the joys about being chair is that I have to bring bad news. I'm going to suspend the meeting. You're all welcome to stay, Professor Spitzer and Ms. Dhillon, but we're going to have time problems. Ms. Siddiqui and Mr. Gora, we'll try to have

Citizenship and Immigration committee   and Tahir Gora who represent the Coalition of Progressive Canadian Muslim Organizations. We have Kamal Dhillon, author of Black and Blue Sari, and Denise Spitzer, who is the Canada research chair in gender, migration, and health from the University of Ottawa. I assume you're

Eid al-Adha  . Individuals such as Kamran Ali, Aqeel Akram, Tahir Khan and Safdar Hussain constantly go out of their way to help others. One of the wonderful initiatives they have taken on is to provide aid to the less fortunate in the region of Peel by helping pay for funeral and burial services. From

Citizenship and Immigration committee  , Tahir Gora, who serves as the secretary general of the Muslim Canadian Congress.
