MP Keith Martin (Lib – Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca) has introduced two private member’s motions to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and rein in the increasingly obnoxious Canadian Human Rights Commission. These latest motions replace and expand motion M-446, which Dr Martin introduced in the previous Parliament.

Ezra Levant has more information.

Here’s the exact wording of the motion:

M-153 — That, in the opinion of the House, subsection 13(1) of the Canadian Human Rights Act should be deleted from the Act.

Martin has also introduced a second motion, too:

M-156 — That, in the opinion of the House, the government should hold public hearings as part of a review of the Canadian Human Rights Act, the Canadian Human Rights Commission and its tribunal.

The motions can be found by searching this page at the parliamentary website.

Dr Martin should know that Canadians support his effort to restore and preserve our liberal rights and freedoms. Write to him at his Ottawa office e-mail.

I hope the Conservative government will move forward on this issue soon.
