Thank you.
We're going to take three minutes each, so I'm going to ask all my questions at once.
I'll start by saying as-salaam alaikum and shalom. Thank you very much for being here. Your work is incredibly important.
I want to thank the witnesses from Quebec.
What you experienced in Quebec City was a disaster and a terrorist crime. Your leadership is greatly appreciated across Canada.
Your advocacy is critical. Know that. We respect your work and its thoroughness.
Know that your advocacy leads us to good places, but somewhat sad places. When you talk about the security infrastructure fund quadrupling in two years, that's a good thing, but it's a sad state of affairs if we're talking about fortifying places of worship. Know that we incorporate your work into our national anti-racism strategy development and into the $45 million anti-racism secretariat that we announced this year.
But more needs to be done, clearly, so I'm going to ask you a series of questions. If possible, try to get through them in about two minutes.
First, if section 13 isn't a perfect tool, could it be remedied simply by some sort of clause attached as a rider, to the effect that nothing in the aforementioned clauses is intended to derogate from an individual's constitutional right to freedom of expression, protected under section 2(b) of the charter? Would that be sufficient?
Second is digital literacy. Seven million dollars has already been dedicated to this, but how much more needs to be dedicated?
Third is empowering complaints. Some of you received complaints because Jews or Muslims, or black or indigenous Canadians feel more comfortable going to civil society groups of their own kith and kin, rather than going to law enforcement. How do we leverage that?
Fourth, can you supply us with a definition of hatred? You're not the first witnesses to come before us and talk about this.
