It is a change. It's a bit of a different threshold, but “counselling” to an offence has a firmer position in law than what we see with “advocating”. When you talk about advocating, probably the closest thing I can think of is the hate crime legislation. There has been rarely, to my knowledge, but certainly some activity or some prosecutions under that legislation as well. From my perspective with the CACP, “counselling” has a firmer place in law and probably is going to be better to move forward, should we want to lay those charges.
