Context: House Hansard - 329 - Jun/11/24
Mr. Yves-François Blanchet (Beloeil—Chambly, BQ)

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is not really in the habit of listening to or reading the RCMP's suggestions. This time, the RCMP is saying that it does not have the tools it needs to deal with the threat that hate speech poses to security and social harmony. The RCMP does not have the tools it needs to do its job. The religious exemption in the Criminal Code enables people to engage in verbal abuse and openly invite violence, and obviously that is a valuable tool for people who do in fact want to incite violence. Will the Prime Minister agree to repeal the religious exemption from the Criminal Code?
