Today, the Honourable Gary Anandasangaree, Minister of Public Safety, and the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, issued the following statement:

“The safety and inclusion of Jewish communities remain a priority for the Government of Canada. No one should face harassment, intimidation, threats, or violence because of their identity, faith, or community.

We strongly condemn acts of hate and violence, including the shocking shooting that took place outside the Sons of Jacob Synagogue on Yom Kippur.

We recognize that many Jewish Canadians continue to face antisemitism in their daily lives, including in schools, workplaces, online spaces, places of worship, and communities across the country. We have heard the concerns of Jewish communities and remain committed to working with them, law enforcement and community partners across Canada to ensure Jewish Canadians can live, study, work, worship, and participate in public life safely, freely, and without fear of hatred, intimidation, or violence.

Today, we released the Progress Report on the National Commitments to Combat Antisemitism: Summer 2026 , the first public update following the release of the National Commitments earlier this year. The report was developed in collaboration with federal and provincial partners, law enforcement, and community stakeholders. It highlights actions being taken across Canada to improve understanding of antisemitism, strengthen supports and protections for affected communities, and improve how institutions prevent, identify, and respond to antisemitic incidents.
