It's important to indicate, again, that the words “advocating”, “promoting”, and “counselling” have been interpreted as active encouragement. Building on the law of counselling, this offence uses the terminology of advocating and promoting. One is looking at active encouragement of the commission of terrorism offences. It's not a case of glorification or praise of terrorism, which would be other than active encouragement. It's directed at prohibiting the active encouragement of the commission of terrorism offences, and not mere expressions of opinion about the acceptability of terrorism.
As you point out, there is the defined term of “terrorism offence” in section 2 of the Criminal Code, and that's the parameters within which this offence works. The concern as expressed was that the current law of counselling requires that there be some degree of specificity as to the offence or type of offence being counselled, but there may be cases where although no specific terrorism offence is being counselled, it is evident nonetheless that terrorism offences are being actively encouraged. And that's what this offence is directed toward.
