Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, the Quebec National Assembly made me truly proud to be a Quebecker when it unanimously adopted a motion denouncing hate speech and calling for an end to the religious exemption. Calling for someone's death in the name of God should not be any more legal than calling for the death of someone we do not like. Freedom of religion does not give a person carte blanche to spread hate. If a religion is misogynistic and homophobic, the problem is not women or homosexuals.
Why did the Liberals reject my motion denouncing the religious exemption, even though it was similar to the motion adopted that same day in the Quebec National Assembly?
