Combatting Hate Act: A Step Towards Tolerance
Bill C-9, also known as The Combatting Hate Act, aims to address the rise in anti-semitism and hate-motivated crimes in Canada.
The legislation proposes to amend the Criminal Code, making it an offence to intimidate or obstruct access to places of worship, schools, and community centers used by identifiable groups.
- Criminalizes wilfully promoting hatred against an identifiable group by displaying certain terrorism or hate symbols in public.
- Makes hate-motivated crime a stand-alone offence.
Observers say if the new hate crimes created by C-9 aren’t enforced, it’s going to be a pyrrhic victory
The goal of the legislation is to ensure clearer denunciation and hold offenders accountable.
