Without opining on any particular instance within Canada, the legislation itself is incredibly important in identifying specific symbols that are used in the wilful promotion of hatred. It's a very narrowly tailored and elegant piece of legislation that tackles a growing problem.
We see that the incitement you so eloquently referenced in your remarks underpins attacks against vulnerable minorities. These hate rallies that MP Fortin referenced are oftentimes accompanied by very specific symbols that have a specific context and a specific and wilful goal, and that is to intimidate vulnerable minorities and ensure that some Canadians do not have equal access to their places of worship, their schools and their community centres so they cannot live their lives fully and equally as Canadians. These symbols are part of that process, and this legislation makes an important point of pointing that out.
