House Hansard - 232

44th Parl. 1st Sess.

Context: House Hansard - 232 - Oct/16/23
Mr. Garnett Genuis (Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, CPC)
Madam Speaker, I have a number of petitions to present to the House today. The first is in support of my private member's bill, Bill C-257. The petitioners raise concern about the problem of political discrimination in Canada. They note that Canadians can face discrimination on the basis of their political beliefs and that this limits free debate and exchange of ideas. Bill C-257 would add political belief and activity as prohibited grounds of discrimination in the Canadian Human Rights Act. The petitioners ask the House to support Bill C-257 and to defend the rights of Canadians to peacefully express their political opinions.
