Dear Hon. Premier McGuinty

We, the undersigned, wish to thank you for the grant your government approved for the purposes of assisting members of the Iranian-Canadian community in Ontario.

However, we are concerned by the selection process adopted by the Government to award such a grant. It is our belief that the Government should have adopted a
more rigorous approach to identifying a suitable organization with an established record of serving members of the Iranian-Canadian community.

To the best of our knowledge the designated group that received the funding had no prior experience of promoting the welfare or safeguarding the interests of Iranian-Canadians in Ontario

The flawed and arbitrary manner in which this grant was rewarded, coupled with the reality that this group has had no prior experience of assisting members of our community, has greatly heightened tension between various members of the Iranian-Canadian community in Ontario.

The members of the group that received generous funding from your government were invited to attend meetings to account for their actions since receipt of these funds in March 2006, but have unfortunately failed to respond to our queries.

As such, we respectfully demand that full investigations of this transaction be undertaken so as safeguard the interests of members of the Iranian-Canadian community in Ontario .
In addition, we request that the full report of this investigation become public, with direct reference to our demand, in order to reinstate the credit and reputation of our community.

Yours Truly
