That question engages the concept, as you mentioned, of parliamentary privilege. Parliamentary privilege, of course, is the privilege that generally protects anything that is said in the context of parliamentary debate from being actionable in law. For example, parliamentarians typically can't bring defamation claims against other parliamentarians based on what is said in the House.
I think your concern is whether that privilege may in some ways deter individuals from running for office. I'm not able to speak to whether in fact there is a concern amongst potential prospective candidates that what is said in the House of Commons may deter them from running, but the simple point that I wish to make is that we're principally concerned with what's happening outside of the House.
We're concerned with what's happening in the ordinary hurly-burly kinds of debates that happen at dinner tables and on social media across Canada. In those contexts, I think it's important that Canadians be able to express themselves without fear that they may be prosecuted for statements that may or may not fall offside this particular provision. I think it's crucial to have clarity.
