Former justice minister and attorney general Irwin Cotler is asking how a government-funded organization aimed at fighting racism could have hired a senior consultant with a history of making derogatory comments against the Jewish community.
“I’m pleased that the government has decided to terminate the grant to CMAC and its senior consultant Laith Marouf. His hateful, bigoted and antisemitic comments, are, as I’ve said before, beyond the pale,” he wrote in a series of posts on Twitter on Aug. 22, referring to the Community Media Advocacy Centre.
