It's certainly a global issue, and that's something that was part of our panel discussion yesterday as well.
There is a report by the House of Commons Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage titled “Taking Action Against Systemic Racism and Religious Discrimination Including Islamophobia”. It was an all-party report that was brought to the House of Commons.
One of the recommendations they had was to establish uniform pan-Canadian guidelines and standards for the collection and handling of hate crime data and hate incident data, including efforts to standardize the definition and the interpretation by law enforcement of “hate crimes”.
What are your thoughts on that particular recommendation?
