This legislation is not identical in kind to the reforms that have been put in place in the U.K. We've actually looked at their experience and seen that there are real challenges with how it has played out.
For example, we have a different approach, whereas some jurisdictions around the world have adopted a more blanket “glorification” that could attract the scrutiny of liking a Facebook post, for example. We chose a different path. We instead tried to be very clear that we would not interfere with the charter rights of Canadians to freely express themselves but at the same time would make it easier to lay charges where hate crimes are committed today.
To the extent that you think there is a better way to clarify and codify the existing definition, do know that I believe in Parliament, and I don't care which party comes forward with these amendments if it creates multipartisan buy-in to codify the test. That's okay by me.
