 "The report no longer contains the terms 'Sikh,' 'Shia,' and 'Sunni,' MP Ruby Sahota wrote. Words matter. Our agencies and departments must never equate any one community or entire religions with extremism." She had worked with Goodale to "remove language" from the report. Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale told reporters Thursday he wanted the terrorist threat report to use language that "did not impugn or condemn an entire religion."
