Mr. Ross, I'm sorry to interrupt you, I don't want to be rude, but our speaking time is limited, as you know.
I'd like to quote a speech we heard in Montreal last year. Adil Charkaoui said publicly, “Allah, take care of these Zionist aggressors. Allah, do something about the enemies of the people of Gaza. Allah, identify them all, then exterminate them. And spare none of them!” That speech was submitted to Quebec's director of criminal and penal prosecutions, who decided not to authorize criminal proceedings against Mr. Charkaoui. Many of us were surprised.
Don't you think that the religious exception in section 319 of the Criminal Code may have led the director of criminal and penal prosecutions to decide that Mr. Charkaoui shouldn't be prosecuted for the hate speech he made?
