“Conservatives voted against listing the noose as a hate symbol. Can you explain why it is important to pass laws against hate and fight these hate symbols in Canada?”
“Mr. Speaker, the member did mention just fighting hate, and he mentioned anti-hate legislation. A proposed change came through the Senate to include the noose as a hate symbol, which the Conservatives have voted against. Can you tell the House why it is important for us to put in place hate legislation and, more specifically, to fight against these hate symbols here in Canada?”
