“There is a lot of hate in our country today. The government promised to bring in this law to fight hate, and it is the right thing to do. I want to know what my colleague thinks of our promise to pass it.”
“Mr. Speaker, when I take a look at what happens in our environment today, unfortunately the reality is that there is a great deal of hatred that is out there. There is an expectation, and the Prime Minister and the government responded in the last election, to bring forward hate legislation. Bill C-9 is all about doing the right thing, along with fulfilling an election platform issue. I am wondering if my colleague can just provide his thoughts on the government’s, and in particular the Prime Minister’s, commitment to bring this legislation, present it and ultimately see it through.”
