“This bill only punishes people who clearly intend to spread hate. It follows our constitution and protects people of all religions. Its goal is to keep Canadians safe and stop hate crimes.”
“Mr. Speaker, this bill is very targeted and would address hate crime with the mens rea, the intent, to wilfully promote hate. I believe that is constitutional and is within the means. It would protect all faiths in this country. The intention of the bill is to protect Canadians and to make sure that people are deterred from committing hate crimes in Canada.”
