Protection of religious intolerance is important, but we already have that in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. 

Motions like this need to be carefully thought out, since the true meaning of any motion or law is only tested and defined when it is challenged before the courts.

This motion as it stands could have unintended consequences and force accommodation of religious views on those who are not religious in the name of Islamophobia.

And what is Islamophobia? Is it anything that offends a follower of Islam and makes them feel unwanted in Canadian society? The term  Islamophobia is meaningless since it means different things to different people.

We should stick with our current hate crime legislation which has served Canada for years.
