14. Given that "...Saudi Arabia has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to fund

210 Islamic centres and 1,359 mosques around the world, including in Canada" it is not unreasonable to question the source of funding. My understanding is that there is a question about where funds are coming from to build this centre. Has it been firmly established that all funding is coming from American donors?
