Mr. Speaker, my question is also for the Minister of Justice.
I returned to my riding just yesterday to discover the streets strewn with hate literature. The local law enforcement people tell me they are inhibited from laying charges by two aspects of the Criminal Code under section 318: first, they have to get prior consent of the attorney general; and second, only distribution, and not simple possession, is an offence.
What does the minister offer in support of enforcement agencies to ensure that our streets are free from this disgusting activity?
