Thank you very much for the question. I think it's a very important question. It points to how interrelated some of these hatreds are, and that are actually a pathway towards radicalization, and terrorism in certain cases. As you mentioned, there is something of a resurgence within the extreme right, the neo-Nazi movement. A Canadian, Monika Schaefer, is sitting in jail in Germany for the promotion of Holocaust denial. She's a dual citizen and a former candidate for a political party here in Canada.
The one thing that seems to connect the extreme right anti-Semitism and the extreme left anti-Semitism unfortunately seems to be the hatred of Jews. They're very explicit about that hatred. It's interesting, because when you're talking about the pathway an individual might go down, whether it's for a Criminal Code offence of hate speech or further down towards actually engaging in an act of terrorism, promotion and incitement to terror begin with the vilification of a target group. It starts in broad and general terms, and then incessantly dehumanizes that target group until eventually that pathway has gone so that an individual has accepted the ideology and is willing to act out on that ideology. That, we know, is the pathway down to radicalization. That's why B'nai Brith has been speaking out so strongly about hate speech. We don't want it to get to that pathway where individuals—particularly those, like the youth, who are most vulnerable—get those messages, dehumanize certain groups, and then act upon that.
Again, that's why we're focusing on the promotion of terrorism here. This is something we don't want to see in our country. It is a real threat. Unfortunately, in the world today it's a growing threat.
