I would add that there are other relevant sections of the charter as well—section 15 on equality, section 27 on multiculturalism. There are multiple charter values that come into play, and quite consistent Supreme Court decisions throughout several decades that uphold the narrowly tailored restrictions regarding hate speech, and which actually align with not only section 1 being a valid restriction, but also uphold the other sections of the charter that espouse core Canadian values.
To your earlier question on obstruction, on hate symbolism, there is an additional component of very specific, proscribed symbolism. That is new, and it's important. I emphasized in my remarks why these symbols incite hate and are anti-democratic, and that is an important addition to existing criminal restrictions.
