Freiman backtracks from reform

Under interrogation by the Bloc's Lemay, Freiman backtracks from his earlier comments about reform. He says he doesn't believe any amendments are necessary -- just for the CHRC to be able to dismiss frivolous complaints if it saw fit.

But, as we know, the CHRC already refuses to investigate cases it doesn't find politically suitable. In its 32-year history, for example, there has never been a hate speech complaint pursued against any radical Muslim, radical Sikh or radical Tamil. Freiman's pretend solution already exists: CHRC discretion. But the CHRC abuses its discretion. That's the problem.

Surprise: the sober voice here is that of Richard Moon, who piped up to rebut Freiman.
