“I want this bill passed quickly. Jewish people in my community support it because it protects their synagogues and gathering places. Can the secretary of state speak about the talks that led to this bill and why we must pass it right away?”
“Mr. Speaker, I really appreciate the hon. secretary of state bringing forth closure on this very important legislation, it being a key campaign promise. I happen to represent the majority of the Hamilton Jewish community, who are extremely supportive of the bill and the protections it would offer for their places of worship, their synagogues, and the places where they gather and deserve to be safe. I was wondering if the hon. secretary of state could talk about the consultation that has gone into this legislation and the need for it to be passed as quickly as possible.”
