The Financial Post reports in its Thursday edition that Air Canada is being accused in the U.K. House of Commons of delaying a British MP from boarding a flight "because his name is Mohammad." A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post says that Clive Betts, standing on a point of order in the House this week, said fellow Labour MP Mohammad Yasin was pulled aside for questioning recently at London's Heathrow Airport "for a considerable period" while other lawmakers he was travelling with were allowed through. Mr. Betts told the House that Mr. Yasin was asked whether he was carrying a knife and where he was born. He said the questioning was being done by "officials from Air Canada and, we believe, the Canadian government" despite Mr. Yasin having a visa to enter Canada. Mr. Betts said Mr. Yasin was eventually allowed to get on the flight, but he was "challenged" again at the Montreal and Toronto airports. He said while Mr. Yasin has received apologies from Air Canada as well as Canada's parliamentary secretary to the federal Immigration Minister, it was important to put Mr. Yasin's experiences on the parliamentary record due to their "racist and Islamophobic nature." Air Canada said it has apologized to Mr. Yasin.
