Recommendation 12:
Outreach and invite Muslim community allies to labour meetings, gatherings and events, and provide space to learn about the experiences and perspectives of Muslims themselves and learn about the work that unions and labour organizations are doing. Small gatherings for sharing and exchanging information, even just conversation can break down barriers and build solidarity.

Recommendation 11:
One must attempt to facilitate the exchange of information among those agencies, institutions, and services that are able to offer care and assistance to children of parents in conflict with the law. At the same time, the privacy protection measures guiding information exchange must be respected. In that way, organizations are provided with the mandate and capacity to collaborate and share information to provide a continuum of care to the children and their families.
- Remove obstacles that hinder outreach activities and the identification of children of parents in conflict with the law by those who can offer them support and assistance. This may involve re-examining, in the light of the principle of the best interests of the child, any privacy and confidentiality protection measure or other factors hindering information exchange and collaboration among and between agencies and significant community resources. For example, the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act can be upheld through individuals and families controlling access to and disclosure of personal information through informed consent.
- Develop interagency protocols regarding the sharing of information in order to facilitate supportive interventions, or review existing cooperation protocols.
- Ensure that interagency protocols clearly specify the situations in which a guardian’s or a family’s permission to share information is not required, for example when there are child and adult protection issues.

Recommendation 9:
Non-profit and non-governmental workers should not just receive the mandate to conduct Street Sweeps, nor should civilians be “deputized” to do this work. Any alternative to Street Sweeps should be peer-led, specifically led by the community organizers who are currently experiencing Sweeps. These folks live, and survive, the realities of Street Sweeps and are best-situated to discern appropriate and long-term solutions.

No more Indigenous advisory committees. Integrate diverse Indigenous peoples and knowledges throughout corporate structures, on both the creative and business side of organizations, and not just in moments of increased fiscal attachment to monetized identity politics.
