“No one should use religious texts to spread hate against any group. I want to remove the law that currently allows people to use religion as a defense for hate speech.”
“Mr. Speaker, does my colleague agree that religious texts should never be deliberately used to incite hatred against a particular group? If so, why not abolish the existing religious exemption in the Criminal Code for this type of offence?”
