Senator Plett: Thank you for the question, Senator Omidvar and, no, I have not done research on that. I would assume that the majority of the immigrants that I certainly have had connections and relations with who have come over to our country have very many of the same family values that I have, and maybe that is because those are the ones that I socialize with. But the majority of them would have many of the same values as me. I don’t think that there could be any clear distinction made that one ethnicity is — I don’t want to use the word “violent” — more aggressive than others. I may be wrong.

Senator Woo: Senator Gold, in the meantime, there are organizations and individuals who have been maligned by these accusations. They have had their funding cut for services that provide language training and settlement for immigrants. They remain under a cloud, and they continue to be slandered by the media and by others, including some in our own Parliament.

Senator Gold, what can the minister do to provide some support for these organizations that have not been charged with anything — where the evidence from other countries suggests that the so-called police stations are a hoax? What is the government going to do to provide some remedies for organizations that are under siege?
