We heard at the last committee meeting that under this particular section of the Criminal Code, there has only been one recorded case of someone being been prosecuted under it—that is, only one reported case. Nonetheless, regardless of whether it or other sections of the Criminal Code are used, I would think your community takes comfort in the fact that there is a specific section dealing with the specific targeting of a religious or other group. Such incidents really are, more than other acts of hate, about targeting an entire group of people to create a culture of terror.
What do you say to that?
