I do agree, certainly, with the importance of doing that. I think the court, in Keegstra and in Whatcott, does draw.... It's a difficult area of law, but it does draw some helpful lines between, again, expressing moral views versus, again, basically defaming, presenting gay men as a threat to children or presenting a religious group as somehow a threat to society. I think the court is really aiming at these defamatory generalizations, and I think that's a legitimate concern in law.
Again, I raise my concern with Bill C-9 that I think the existing law we have does that. I think Bill C-9, maybe needlessly, particularly in the hate propaganda offence, raises some questions about whether the standard is bring lowered, and that it shouldn't be.
