Ottawa rushing hate crimes bill without addressing concerns: civil liberties’ group
- The Canadian Civil Liberties Association says the government is rushing Bill C-9 without addressing concerns from faith groups and civil society organizations.
- The House of Commons justice committee finished work on Bill C-9 after a motion was passed to speed its passage through Parliament.
- The bill's committee process removed a Criminal Code religious exemption for hate speech, an amendment supported by the Liberals to gain Bloc Québécois support.
- Civil liberties and community groups say Bill C-9 could give police too much power, criminalize protest, and create offences for intimidating or obstructing outside religious or cultural institutions.
