The answer is that I've proposed a new section, which is “wilful promotion of terror activities”, because I don't like the looseness in the language that exists in the United Kingdom over the glorification of terrorism, which I think is prone to the concerns that you've expressed.
That's why I look at the terrorism sections that currently exist under the Criminal Code. They're a hodgepodge and very difficult for law enforcement to apply. Law enforcement expressed concerns about it. That's why I've crafted a potential section that's very narrowly crafted, draws upon existing jurisprudence and recognizes that we do not protect, under freedom of speech guarantees in the charter, the wilful promotion of terror—in other words, violent activity.
I am concerned that we not go the route the United Kingdom has taken. I don't think this legislation is doing that, and I certainly don't think my proposed new offence would do that either.
