As outlined by Senator Urquhart, we have asked that this question be voted on separately. We don't support subsection (d). We don't believe that expanding the Criminal Code, which already criminalises incitement to violence, or establishing a charter for access to government services provide effective means to combat racism. What we need is for every member of this parliament to lead by example in rejecting racism and encouraging mutual respect.
