As I mentioned, the Attorney General consent provision is there for a reason, and that reason has merit. Unfortunately, the way the system is operating, the status quo is untenable. There needs to be a change. Whether that change is to provide further clarity, transparency and timeliness to the consideration of hate promotion charges, or whether it's to remove it altogether and ensure that it still remains in place for private prosecutions, is something that this committee needs to dive into.
The status quo is untenable, but we need to be very careful about how we move forward.
