We feel it is a distinct improvement and does not pose the same threat to freedom of expression. That much is clear. However, counselling a person to commit an indictable offence is, in itself, already an indictable offence. Consequently, we fail to understand why this provision was not simply repealed, since this amendment has been made. Someone who counsels another person to commit an indictable offence, which includes a terrorist act, may already be prosecuted under the Criminal Code.
