OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly says Canada will not change its foreign policy based on a push from the NDP to"officially recognize the state of Palestine."
Joly says"there are issues" with the NDP's motion, and that Canada"can't change foreign policy based on an opposition motion."The ongoing war has caused a divide within the Liberal caucus, members of which discussed the motion during a morning call ahead of the debate. But Anthony Housefather, a Liberal from Montreal, said on social media that the motion calls for a list of measures that are"hostile to Israel."
Islamic Relief Canada representative Miranda Gallo said it was a matter of upholding the values of international law and human dignity. Canada's policy to support the creation of a"sovereign, independent, viable, democratic and territorially contiguous" state has remained unchanged since the war began.
