Mr. Speaker, perhaps we should bring the debate back to the substance of the bill.
The bill says that a person cannot promote hatred under the guise of religion. We have been debating this for far too long already. In committee, there has been systematic obstruction from the Conservatives that makes no sense.
From what I understand, my friends think that a person should be able to promote hatred if it is for religious reasons. That makes no sense.
My colleague said earlier that she would not trust politicians with her religious freedom and freedom of expression. Personally, I would have even less trust in priests and religious experts to tell us how we should behave in society and what does or does not promote hatred.
I think she needs to review or reread the bill.
