In 2015, QMI news agency obtained an RCMP search warrant that linked MAC headquarters in Mississauga to the International Relief Fund for the Afflicted and Needy-Canada (IRFAN-Canada) – a banned terrorist organization with financial ties to Hamas.

Though no charges were laid as a result of the warrant, the RCMP cited a CRA document showing that “MAC provided $296,514 between 2001 and 2010” to IRFAN-Canada. Within that period, from 2005 and 2009, “IRFAN-Canada transferred approximately $14.6 million worth of resources to various organizations associated with Hamas,” according to the federal department of public safety.
