Horrified by the antisemitic terror attack in Australia. Please see the Prime Minister's statement below
Horrified by the antisemitic terror attack that has stolen the lives of 11 people at a Hanukkah event on Bondi Beach today in Australia. Canada stands with the people of Australia and Jewish people everywhere in sorrow, and determination never to bow to terrorism, violence, hatred and intimidation. Hanukkah is a time of light amidst the darkness, and a remembrance of the resilience of the Jewish people. May we all support and strengthen that resilience to protect our Jewish communities and to ensure more fundamentally that all people can thrive in every aspect of our society.

We have to put aside what used to divide us and work together for Canada—especially our entrepreneurs, researchers, and patients. That’s why I was proud to join OBIO, @MaRSDD and TIAP for the launch of Life Sciences Central. 1/3
