Last month, the federal government introduced the Combatting Hate Act (Bill C-9) to strengthen Canada’s response to hate-motivated crime. Yet questions remain about the implications of Bill C-9 for our community. This Community Briefing brings together a panel of leading criminal law experts to clearly explain the key provisions of Bill C-9 – what it does and does not do – and explore its real-world implications for protecting vulnerable communities and countering antisemitism and other forms of hate. Participants will gain practical insight into the legislation, learn about key resources to support understanding and advocacy, and leave better equipped to speak out and advocate for stronger protections against hate in Canada.
