The Canadian government launched an investigation into complaints made by Muslim charities who were unfairly targeted for audits and had their charitable statuses revoked.
The complaints were made following the release of a report made by the International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group (ICLMG), entitled "The CRA's Prejudiced Audits: Counter-Terrorism and the Targeting of Muslim Charities in Canada".
This document reported that from 2008 to 2015, 75 per cent of the organisations whose charitable status was revoked following audits were Muslim charities.
It also showed that investigations into terrorism financing in the charitable sector focused almost exclusively on Muslim charities, although none of these charities was charged with a terrorist-financing crime.
