Canadian Justice Minister Fraser said he introduced a new bill to the House of Commons aimed at protecting against hate crimes.

Highlighting that due to rising hatred and violence many Canadians can no longer live freely or celebrate their identities without fear, Fraser stated:

“The new law provides protection for religious communities seeking to access their places of worship without obstacles or fear of threats. It also broadens the criminalization of hate crimes, acknowledging that such crimes affect society as a whole and weaken the social fabric of the nation.”

Fraser emphasized that Canadians, regardless of their skin color, religion, or who they love, have the right to live free from hatred, adding: “Today, we took another step toward building a safer and more inclusive Canada that celebrates our diversity and protects against all forms of hatred.”
