flag A Canadian watchdog found the CRA’s terrorism audits disproportionately targeted Muslim and Sikh groups without evidence or proper oversight.

flag A Canadian intelligence watchdog has found the Canada Revenue Agency’s charity audit process for terrorism risks bias and lacks evidence-based criteria, with 67% of 37 audits from 2009 to 2022 targeting Islamic organizations and 19% targeting Sikh groups, though no demographic data was collected to confirm bias. flag Half the audits had no documented approval, and terrorism links were not confirmed in five of the eight most recent cases. flag The review recommended stricter evidence requirements and better oversight, which the CRA partially accepted, though it rejected collecting demographic data citing privacy laws. flag Advocacy groups welcomed the findings as validation of long-standing concerns about unfair targeting.
