Good morning, Mr. Storseth.
Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act ensures that Canada meets its international treaty obligations and its commitments under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, as well as other international and regional commitments. If section 13 makes it possible to meet those obligations, could you tell me why you think repealing it is a good idea?
Right now, section 13 does a good job of guaranteeing that Canada complies with the objectives of the international community in terms of human rights protection, ensuring, among other things, legal protection against hate speech and incitement to hate and the ensuing violence.
