Hate speech bill heads to Commons committee

My second piece on the national page of Xtra.ca today is a story about Bill C-304 passing Second Reading in the Commons. The issue of free speech and Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act is something I've been following for Xtra for the past few years, as this kind of issue occasionally rears its head, and in this parliament it's moving forward after a lot of discussions that went nowhere. It's interesting to hear the arguments on both sides, and it'll be extremely interesting to cover when it gets to committee.
