"Motion 103"

Motion 103 was tabled by Mississauga, Ont., Liberal backbencher Iqra Khalid last fall, but will be discussed in the aftermath of last month's mass shooting at a Quebec City mosque. It calls on government to "condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination."

The text of the motion also asks the government to:

- Recognize the need to quell the increasing public climate of hate and fear.

- Request the heritage committee study how the government could develop a government-wide approach to reducing or eliminating systemic racism and religious discrimination, including Islamophobia.

- Collect data to contextualize hate crime reports and to conduct needs assessments for impacted communities and present findings within 240 calendar days
