PETITION: Protect Religious Freedom

December 4, 2025

Canadians are rightly concerned that Liberal-Bloc amendments to Bill C-9 could be used to criminalize passages from the Bible, the Quran, the Torah, and other sacred texts.

The Carney Liberal bill will expose people of faith to criminal prosecution for the simple act of quoting their own sacred texts. Removing the religious freedom safeguard from the Criminal Code will not make Canadians safer and it will certainly not protect anyone, least among them people of faith, from hate.

The state has no place in the religious texts or teachings of any faith community. Freedom of expression and freedom of religion are fundamental rights that must be preserved.

I encourage you to print, sign, and return this petition to my office postage-free. The Liberal government must protect religious freedom, uphold the right to read and share sacred texts, and prevent government overreach into matters of faith.
