Evan Solomon Liberal
“I want this bill to pass. It creates real laws to protect people at places of worship and schools. It also bans hate symbols in public and helps police stop intimidation at schools, community centres, and places of worship.”
“Mr. Speaker, we should use common sense here. The bill is not just words; it would be a law. This is the most important thing that a government can do, which is to very seriously look at the law and change it to secure citizens where they worship and go to school. On the display of hate symbols, there is a new category as well. This would give police guidance when there is obstruction and intimidation in front of schools, universities, community centres and places of worship. The hon. member knows these are not just mere words. This would be the law.”
