William Stevenson Conservative
“Hate speech and racism are wrong and should be punished. But how will this bill tell the difference between hate speech and free speech, and who gets to decide?”
“Mr. Speaker, the member raised how racism and hate speech are definitely deplorable and should be prevented and punished. That said, how does the member opposite see Bill C-34 determining what qualifies as free speech and hate speech? Who would be qualified to make those determinations going forward with Bill C-34?”
