Ms. Libby Davies (Vancouver East, NDP): Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Senate passed by a vote of 59 to 11 Bill C-250, the Private Member's Bill first introduced by the Member for Burnaby-Douglas almost 15 years ago to include sexual orientation in the Criminal Code hate propaganda section along with race, colour, religion and ethnic origin.
Too often gay and lesbian people are targeted for violence, hatred and even death as in the tragic case of Aaron Webster.
