Thank you, Chair.
I'd like to thank you all for your time.
Across Canada, we have seen a troubling rise in hate targeting marginalized groups and queer and trans people in schools, community spaces and online. Marginalized groups and 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians are often targeted by hate that can escalate from verbal harassment to violence.
How can Bill C-9's clear definition and stronger enforcement tools help officers intervene earlier to protect vulnerable people in Canada?
