Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Ms. Shepherd, Mr. Steyn, Mr. Robson, thanks for your testimony this morning.

Mr. Robson, on the 16th of May, an article that you wrote was published, and it said, “ I think it’s very important to take a stand that what’s dangerous isn’t paintings, it’s people who kill in response to paintings, books, cartoons or a sideways glance.”

Can you expand on the context of what should be done, or not done, in response to online hate?
