John,

Exactly two weeks ahead of the November 4 federal budget, Jewish leaders from across Canada gathered on Parliament Hill to meet with the government and the opposition.  

Together, we delivered a united message to elected officials from both sides of the aisle: at a time of rising hate and extremism, they must step up and do more to safeguard Canadians. 

From Victoria to Halifax and in cities in between, our community's security environment has fundamentally changed. 

That’s why we brought forward five key priorities: 

• Boosting investments in community security in Budget 2025 

• Strengthening enforcement of existing laws and improving Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act  

• Closing gaps in Canada’s anti-terror laws 

• Holding Hamas and the Palestinian Authority accountable 

• Emphasizing Canada’s continued support for the U.S.-led Middle East peace plan 

These conversations are critical, but parliamentarians need to hear from all Canadians – including you.  

Because it all starts with security. Keeping people safe is the number one priority for any government. And it is the foundation of a safe and thriving democracy. 

Since 2023, the federal government’s Canada Community Security Program has helped protect targeted communities – including ours – by supporting essential protective measures and tools. But with threats growing, the need is also escalating.

Shabbat Shalom,
Noah Shack, CEO
