Mr. Speaker, I am presenting a petition on behalf of Canadians who are drawing the attention of the House to Bill C-257, which would add protections against political discrimination to the Canadian Human Rights Act.
The petitioners have two points they want to raise with the House of Commons.
First, they want the House to expeditiously support Bill C-257, which bans discrimination on the basis of political belief or activity.
Second, they want the defence of the rights of Canadians to peacefully express their political opinions to be made a first priority of the House of Commons.
