Mr. Speaker, getting back to the purposes of this bill is important because it is about creating and protecting freedom of religion and the freedoms of conscience and expression for all Canadians. No Canadian should have their rights stepped on and impeded when they are faced and confronted in their day-to-day lives in places where they gather by the types of hate and violent and intimidating acts that we have now, unfortunately, over two years of experience, seen on our streets. That is what this bill seeks to address. That is what we are fighting for here and what we intend to deliver for Canadians.
