Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses who are with us today. My first questions are for the representatives of the Barreau du Québec.
Bill C‑9 proposes to remove the requirement for prior consent of the Attorney General to prosecute hate propaganda.
I'd like you to tell us about that, Mr. President. In your opinion, is it a good idea to eliminate the pre-authorization stage, or should we keep it instead?
