Mr. Speaker, I will give my colleague a genuine answer to his genuine question. As I said in my speech, calls to violence are not protected under the Criminal Code or by free expression. That was true before Bill C-9 and it will be true after Bill C-9.
I must disagree with the hon. member when he suggests a revision or an update is needed to deal with Mr. Charkaoui. That is not the case. He called for violence, which is not protected by the Criminal Code or the charter. He could have been prosecuted, and it was a decision by the police force in his province to not do so. I will remind the member there are numerous tools in the Criminal Code that could be used to address this, such as criminal harassment, mischief and causing a disturbance. There are so many tools to be used, but none were used. I suggest he ask the police force in his province why that was the case.
