The Senate’s amendment to Bill C-9 was just passed today by the House of Commons by a vote of 189 to 128; the bill now only needs royal assent to become law.

We have already discussed Bill C-9 at length; I will simply reiterate here that this “hatred” law will likely be used by activists to persecute their political opponents, particularly Christians. The definition of “hatred” in Bill C-9 is rather vague; it is defined there as an “emotion.” Why, then, condemn an emotion if “hatred” — understood as the will to cause harm — is already condemned in practice by existing laws? After all, when one person has caused harm to another, the courts will determine whether the harm was caused intentionally.

Reducing “hatred” to a mere emotion opens the door to many questionable interpretations; just look at how the Liberals see “hatred” everywhere. Let’s not forget that Marc Miller, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, considers certain passages of the Bible to be “hateful.”

It’s also worth noting that Liberal MP John-Paul Danko cited “anti-abortion hate” during parliamentary debates as an example of the kind of speech that Bill C-9 should target... It was this same Danko who recently accused Conservative Representative Vincent Ho of “deliberately generating hatred” because Ho had asked during a committee hearing what “the definition of a woman” was. Looking at Mr. Danko’s remarks, one wonders whether he himself does not harbor a certain emotion characterized by the very intensity and extremity described in Bill C-9.

With laws like these, we must be more vigilant than ever. We’re still $994 short of our goal — thank you for supporting our work.>>

Simon Jolin-Barrette’s draft Quebec constitution ended up in the basket as this parliamentary session drew to a close, as Christine Fréchette’s government chose not to close debates to override the blockade by the Quebec Liberal Party and Québec Solidaire and proceed to a vote.

At least the secular nature of the state will not be engraved in the marble of a constitution, and the “right” to euthanasia will not find its way into the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. It was in this same abandoned draft constitution that the “right” to abortion was initially included, before being rejected following a far-fetched debate among abortion advocates.

Let’s not give up; we must do everything in our power to establish a culture of life in Quebec.

For Life,
Augustin Hamilton
