House Hansard - 276

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
February 6, 2024 10:00AM
Context: House Hansard - 276 - Feb/6/24
Mr. Yves-François Blanchet (Beloeil—Chambly, BQ)
Mr. Speaker, in order for police to take action, the law must allow them to do so. Last time, the Prime Minister chose denial and swept the issue under the rug. Discussion ended then and there. He spoke of freedom of expression, freedom in general, as he did just now. This religious exemption is found in a bill that criminalizes hate speech yet allows people to take the cowardly way out and hide behind that exemption. Will he condone hate speech, or will he eliminate hate speech spread under the guise of the religious exemption?
