Conservative on Combatting Hate Act 2026-06-16

73 words · 4 sentences · 4 clauses

Replying to Ruby Sahota (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, the member talks about underlying crimes that are in the code already, such as assault or mischief. This bill would take the penalties for those crimes and double them for people who would dare prevent somebody from going into their synagogue. I know the community is supportive of this bill, because it would give longer and more meaningful, substantial penalties for those who commit hate crimes in Canada.”
