Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise today to present another petition from residents of Kamloops—Shuswap—Central Rockies. I believe this is my sixth petition on this issue.
The petition calls on the Government of Canada to reject any amendment to Bill C-9 that removes the religious exemption from Canada's hate speech provisions, to protect Canada's constitutional rights of freedom of religion and freedom of expression and to ensure that legislation does not criminalize good-faith religious discourse and teaching.
