Thanks very much, Madam Chair.
I support this motion, and I'm glad Mr. Housefather moved it forward for the reasons that he mentioned. The confusion over what these symbols mean is something I'm surprised at. I don't think there's a single member of Parliament who doesn't understand the implications, but it's important for public education that we reiterate what these symbols represent.
I would offer a friendly amendment, if Mr. Housefather is open to that. It's to add, after “the swastika and the Confederate flag in Canada and consider what actions Parliament may take,” “including possible legislation”.
I guess I also would suggest that perhaps we say the Nazi swastika, given that in Hinduism a different type of swastika is present, and that would avoid the confusion that sometimes exists on that.
I certainly support the motion and hope that these friendly amendments are acceptable.
