Thank you, Madam Chair.
In five days, on November 25, the 12 days of action against violence against women campaign will be launched in Quebec, culminating on December 6 with the day commemorating the Polytechnique massacre. I would also like to acknowledge the work of the AFÉAS, a group of feminist women in Quebec, which will launch Operation Reach Out during those days of action.
Ms. Auger‑Voyer, you talked about online posting. I no longer know how to reach out in the current context with these masculinist movements, this backtracking, this misogyny that's on the rise everywhere. A lot of it is happening online.
I'll link this to December 6. Why do groups of influencers, particularly those from the “incel” community, praise Marc Lépine and present him as a god today, in 2024? I don't know what to do with that anymore. Frankly, I don't want to interfere with anyone's freedom of expression, but I think that at some point we'll have to look at how far we can go online to determine what we won't tolerate from a criminal standpoint. For example, there are some comments in certain areas of the dark web. At some point, we'll have to look at that. Without wanting to infringe on freedom of expression, because that's not the goal, we need a law to address online hate content, in particular to prevent it from contributing to this toxic masculinity and misogyny.
What do you think? At the federal level, we're increasingly talking about this idea of looking at online hate speech to find out what we should be doing about it.
