Mr. Speaker, I can only say, having listened to that last answer, that the hon. member has not read the bill, because it does not change whatsoever the way one levels a complaint with respect to a hate crime or the definition of a hate crime.
The hon. member talked about enforcement. Can he talk to us about what he believes the role of the federal government is when it comes to police enforcement at a local level? Has he ever had a federal member of Parliament or a federal minister tell him what to do as a police officer? What does he think the federal government is going to do with respect to local law enforcement, which is a provincial jurisdiction, manned by municipal police?
