National Day of Solidarity with Victims of Anti-religious Bigotry and Violence   suffered an arson attack. That attack was mentioned earlier in debate today. There were attacks on a synagogue in Saskatoon and a Mosque in Edson. A Sikh temple in Vancouver suffered an arson attack. Someone who douses gasoline on temples creates a climate of fear and hatred

Criminal Code  , we would like to preserve that. I am not sure why we would want to lessen the severity of the crime for that. There is arson for fraudulent purposes. These acts are clearly serious crimes. If I go back to the original premise that says the reason we have a criminal justice system

Justice committee   by reports today that we have elected officials potentially making announcements about immigration policy in front of hotels that were the site of arson attacks in Toronto. I'll leave it at that. I have a question for all four of you that relates to section 13 of the CHRA. It's a bit

Justice committee   in Quebec City and led up to the Quebec City mosque attack. There had been a surge in mosque arson and vandalism across Canada and eventually it led to this attack. As recently as last week, in London, U.K., a right-wing extremist, Steven Bishop, pled guilty to a plot to carry out a bomb

Health committee  . In the early 2000s, our city was plagued with arson and auto theft, and we came together to knock both back. We know how to get things done by working together.

Participation in terrorist activities and advocating genocide were deleted from this list only because a Conservative

Criminal Code   or a less-than-two-years summary conviction. It is ridiculous. Arson, for a number of reasons, is now on this list and is not considered that serious when in fact it drives up the cost of insurance and it takes people's homes. It is obviously a serious crime. Participating

Criminal Code   genocide, participating in activities of criminal organizations, arson for fraudulent purposes, human trafficking-related offences and material benefit for sexual services. Listening to the list of some of these offences on which the Liberals are going soft, one really cannot help

Criminal Code  ? Would it be for impaired driving causing bodily harm or death? Would it be for extortion by libel, or arson by negligence or participation in activities of a criminal organization? For which of these offences, which would have their sentences reduced, has he heard from his

Criminal Code   age of 14 or under the age of 16. I think most Canadians would agree with us that these are very serious offences. Some others are marriage to someone under the age of 16, arson for fraudulent purpose and participation in the activities of a criminal organization. The government

Criminal Code  , human trafficking and arson for a fraudulent purpose. The government is moving ahead with reclassifying those offences. What would be the effect of reclassification? Instead of a maximum sentence of up to 10 years, the maximum would be two years less a day if the accused were

Justice committee  Yes. This is another amendment on reclassification. Bill C-75 would make the serious indictable offence of arson for a fraudulent purpose a hybrid offence. It's very difficult to understand why such a serious offence would be treated as a hybrid offence, and this amendment would
