“Discrimination against religious and belief communities has no place in Canada, or in the world we want. As with all forms of discrimination, it causes suffering and division and leads to a climate of fear, intolerance and stigmatization. Today, on International Religious Freedom Day, we celebrate the freedom to manifest and practise our faith or belief, both as individuals and together with others, in peace and security.

As with those basic human rights, freedom of religion or belief plays a pivotal role in nurturing peaceful, prosperous, resilient and inclusive societies.
