Combatting Hate Act: Proposed legislation to protect communities against hate

Rising antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia and transphobia have left too many people feeling unsafe in their own communities. The Government of Canada has introduced the Combatting Hate Act to better protect access to places of worship, as well as schools, community centres and other specified places, and to more clearly address and denounce hate-motivated crime.
