Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Mahoney, I hope to be able to read your submission. Will it be translated? It is true that it is 60 pages, but still. As a francophone, I insist on bilingualism, so I will refrain from making any comments.
Having said that, Ms. Mahoney, I think that your remarks were very clear. I am happy you pointed out that hate speech is not freedom of expression, but a form of discrimination described in the Canadian Bill of Rights. Actually, the Canadian Bill of Rights prohibits it. When we read section 13, we often forget that it refers to section 3. Section 3 is clear. It tells us what the prohibited grounds of discrimination are. Thank you for pointing that out.
And I would also like to thank the other witnesses for joining us today.
Mr. Freiman, I would like you to maybe answer what the presenter of that bill was saying a bit earlier. He kind of stated the fact that it's a serious offence, heinous speech, so it should be dealt with by the Criminal Code. I know you addressed it, but there are still a lot of people who think that if we think it's serious, then the Criminal Code is it. But there could be two different types of legalities around it.
