Very good.
The federal government has a responsibility to put the Criminal Code in place to set the law and to ensure it's enforced. In the Criminal Code, it's an offence to advocate or promote genocide; to publicly incite hatred in a way that's “likely to lead to a breach of the peace”; to “wilfully promote..hatred against [an] identifiable group”; to “wilfully promote...antisemitism”; or to commit mischief related to certain forms of property that's “motivated by bias, prejudice or hate”.
Yet, all of these things are happening across the country. We have heard from your testimony about the things that are happening on campus. We could add to that the blocking at Avenue Road of critical infrastructure, which is also illegal. We could add the blocking of the road in front of Mount Sinai Hospital, which was also illegal.
In all of these cases, we do not see universities enforcing their code of conduct, we do not see the police arresting people for committing what are crimes and, also, the federal government has not taken an action to ensure the rule of law is enforced.
Do you agree with my assessment?
I'll start with Rachel.
