Mr. Speaker, on page 74 of budget 2024, it says, “Halal Mortgages”. This is not the first time the federal government has given some thought to sharia-compliant mortgages. The CMHC commissioned a study on this issue in 2009. The reaction of the Muslim Canadian Congress at the time was clear.

Who exactly is this measure for?
