I can't give you the origin of its existence, but certainly obviously from our perspective it came from Parliament in terms of our mandate to deal with hate on the Internet. Section 13 is a creature of statute, as you know, and it came from the mandate of Parliament.
In terms of the balancing and the limit, that was, as you know as well, considered head-on in light of the charter by the Supreme Court of Canada in the Taylor case in 1990. The decision of the Supreme Court at that time--they released both the Taylor and the Keegstra decisions on the same day--upheld the constitutionality of both section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act and sections 318 and 319 of the Criminal Code of Canada. So it is based on that.
And then again, as I had referenced, the 2001 amendment to our act, again by Parliament, as part of the Anti-terrorism Act expressly states that it does cover hate on the Internet, which the tribunal had already determined was the case.
So we take the mandate from Parliament, and we take the balancing, if you will, and the restriction on freedom of expression from the court cases. These are not decisions that are taken by the commission. We are subject to Parliament and the mandate that you, as parliamentarians, give to us or take away.
