Mr. Speaker, this particular bill, since inception, was designed to combat hate in this country and to offer protections for minorities, including religious minorities, who are facing hate. My priority is to see the bill adopted so we can offer protections for communities who, frankly, do not deserve to be faced with the hate crimes that they have been subjected to.
That is going to require that we collaborate with different parties that have different points of view. I thank my colleague for the conversations we have been able to share. I look forward to seeing the decision that is going to be taken, not by an individual minister but by the justice committee, as it considers potential amendments going forward. I very much look forward to seeing the results of those deliberations, and I hope we can see the swift adoption of the bill.
