Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses from B'nai Brith for the very cogent and measured approach that you're taking with respect to this issue. I understand that it's a divisive issue within the Jewish community. Quite frankly, I was caught a little off guard when you opened your comments by saying you support this legislation. That advocacy and support is going to change the basis of my questioning.
I guess you will agree with me that the current section 13 of the human rights code captures speech that is not truly hateful, that is if one accepts the Criminal Code definition of true hateful speech in section 319, that which advocates actual harm to persons or persons' properties of an identifiable group. Would you agree with me that the current section 13 captures speech that is offensive but not hateful? Would you agree with that characterization?
