Toronto, March 26, 2012 – B’nai Brith Canada has extended its congratulations to Thomas Mulcair on his selection as leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada (NDP).
"We extend our congratulations to Thomas Mulcair on his decisive victory in the NDP leadership race and to the NDP for selecting its newest leader," said Frank Dimant, CEO of B’nai Brith Canada. “We look forward to continuing to work closely with the NDP on behalf of the Canadian Jewish community. We also commend all of the leadership candidates for their efforts during the campaign.
"We are pleased that the NDP has selected an ally of the Canadian Jewish community and a supporter of the Jewish State. We look forward to a well-thought-out platform on Canada-Israel relations and a strong voice in countering the anti-Israel rhetoric that all too often emerges among ill-informed Canadians.
“Mr. Mulcair has maintained a strong relationship with B’nai Brith Canada throughout his seasoned political career and we look forward to continuing our efforts with the NDP, and especially with Mr. Mulcair, in jointly addressing the pressing social issues that B’nai Brith Canada is intrinsically engaged in, such as affordable housing, senior care and Alzheimer’s treatment."
