Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Ross, in two and a half minutes, I'm going to somewhat repeat the same line of questioning, if I may.
For argument's sake, let's say I convert to a religion other than mine and that religion is based on a religious text, whether it's called the Bible, the Torah or whatever, that says that another group of individuals, such as Montrealers or Christians, are evil creatures that must be exterminated. Suppose, then, that I convert to this religion, for all kinds of reasons, and I convene a conference at which I ask the Lord to eliminate all Christians, who are evil creatures, and not to forget any.
In your opinion, would that speech be protected under the current provisions of the Criminal Code? Would it be acceptable to say that in Canada?
