Federal Offices to be Replaced by Advisory Council

The federal government plans to merge the Offices of the Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia and the Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance into a new Advisory Council on Rights, Equality, and Inclusion, according to Identity Minister Marc Miller. This move aims to enhance national unity and address issues of division, though community groups like the National Council of Canadian Muslims and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs express concerns about the loss of dedicated leadership. The composition of the new council will be announced later.
