A Jewish advocacy group is calling on the Liberal government to release a still-secret 40-year-old report and other documents containing details about ...
David Matas, honorary counsel for B’nai Brith, said the Jewish advocacy organization had "run up against a brick wall,” over the government’s decision to continue withholding records about alleged Nazi war criminals who settled in Canada.
David Matas, the honorary counsel for B’nai Brith, said the Jewish advocacy organization was also pushing for the release of RCMP and Department of Justice files on alleged Nazi war criminals in Canada. “We’ve run up against a brick wall,” he said of the government’s decision to continue withholding the records.
Matas said Canada’s track record in dealing with alleged Nazi criminals was poor. In a February submission to the House of Commons committee on Access to Information, B’nai Brith pointed out that the Canadian government’s approach to Nazi war criminals had been marked with “intentional harbouring of known Nazi war criminals” as well as “deliberate inaction.”
Witold Dzielski, Poland’s ambassador to Canada, has called for Canada to formally apologize for honouring Hunka. Many of the records being sought are linked to the 1986 war crimes commission led by Justice Jules Deschenes. Deschenes’s commission has been criticized by some Jews for failing to delve too deeply into the war criminal issue.
