Mr. Speaker, my colleague's previous question is a good example of what we have been experiencing with Bill C‑9. I would describe it as blatant misinformation. I have received calls at my office from people who have a very narrow view of the purpose of the bill.
Hate speech is hate speech. We need to make that clear to people. We are not taking away anyone's right to practise their faith. We are not taking away anyone's right to demonstrate their faith. We are asking people not to use their faith to justify hate speech based on very specific guidelines.
Why would any politician think it is a good idea to spread misinformation to the public and create concerns. I cannot understand it. Perhaps my colleague could explain it to us.
