You've already heard my remarks on this. It's a long section. This is designed to reinstate or restore section 54, except for the monetary penalty provisions. You've heard from the Canadian Bar Association. The Supreme Court of Canada has also pronounced on the monetary penalty provisions. We believe they should be taken out but that in all other respects section 54 should remain.
The rest of section 54 allows offenders to make amends to those affected by hate speech. The Liberal Party supports the Canadian Bar Association's approach in this regard and would hope that the other committee members would see it the same way.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
