The chair of the House of Commons committee that will be studying Islamophobia in Canada in the coming months offers no guarantee radical voices won’t be included in the mix.

“We have to make sure we hear from all voices,” Liberal MP Hedy Fry told the Sun Wednesday in a phone interview.

“What is one man’s radicalism is another man’s whatever,” Fry said when asked if any radical, pro-sharia imams will be invited to appear as witnesses. “We cannot really say to people ‘You can’t come’, unless they’re inciting hatred.”

After M103, the controversial motion on racism and discrimination that singled out Islamophobia, was approved last month in the House of Commons, it started the clock ticking on when the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage had to deliver a report.

Fry confirmed that the deadline is November 18. The long-serving Vancouver MP also expects there to be over 10 meetings and, based on the numbers from a recent committee study, that they’ll hear from over 100 witnesses.

How will the meetings balance different religions and forms of discrimination? Will they single out the ill-defined Islamophobia for special treatment, just like the original motion was criticized for doing? These are the questions that remain.

Fry expects plans to be on guard for duplication to see that there aren’t multiple people from the same group or organization offering an identical perspective.

The details and scope of the committee study have yet to be figured out, Fry stressed, predicting an “independent and non-partisan” approach to the issue.

Of the committee’s 10 members, six are Liberal, with three Conservatives and one NDP.

The Sun previously reported that sources estimate the study will get underway next month.
