lEARN MORE ABOUT bILL c-9
Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act, seeks to combat hate by addressing hate propaganda, hate crime and access to religious or cultural places. However, a recent amendment to Bill C-9 removed the good faith religious defence and opened the door to Christians being accused of hate speech for defending biblical morality.
Not only will Bill C-9 make it easier to prosecute Christians for publicly declaring biblical truths regarding issues of morality and identity, but it may discourage legitimate religious expression. The removal of the good faith religious defence from the Criminal Code risks censoring religious beliefs and silencing speech.
Additionally, the new hate crime offence and offences related to religious and cultural places could create more confusion and challenges than benefits.
