 rbc.com - RBC Financial Group - Media Newsroom - Executive Speeches
It is entirely fitting that CIJA and UJA use words to promote the shared principles that Canadians are so proud of - tolerance, diversity, inclusion, freedom of expression and the right to be protected from hatred.
Yet, despite these accomplishments, it is disappointing that Canada, a country that prides itself on being a tolerant, inclusive, multicultural society, needs a CIJA or a UJA to advocate for our creative and generous Jewish community and for Israel.
An issue that I have spoken on recently and I would like to briefly comment on tonight is the broad issue of diversity and workforce integration which is of great importance to our country if we are going to compete in today’s globally competitive world.

CIJA receives community funds through UIA and, in turns, allocates them to three recipients, Congress, the CIC and National Jewish Campus Life, and monitors how the funds are spent.
