I have no doubt it will survive constitutional scrutiny because I've drafted the legislation for the consideration of this committee. It's contained in my written submission. I've drawn upon words that have already been constitutionally protected, “wilful promotion of”, and then instead of “hatred against an identifiable group”, “dealing with terror activities or the activities of a terror group”, both of which— “terror activities” and a “terrorist group”—are defined already under the Criminal Code. For me, there can be no constitutional protection for the wilful promotion of terror activities or the activities of a prohibited group under the Criminal Code.
You can look to my written submissions for some of the language. For me, this would solve a number of the issues that currently exist.
