An Act to amend the Criminal Code (promotion of hatred or antisemitism)
Bill C-367 was a Conservative Private Member's Bill sponsored by MP Tim Uppal (Edmonton-Mill Woods) amending the Criminal Code to add specific protections against promotion of hatred or antisemitism targeting Jewish Canadians. Brought after the October 2023 spike in antisemitic incidents reported across Canada following the Hamas-Israel conflict (B'nai Brith Canada documented a 109 percent increase in antisemitic incidents in 2023 versus 2022, the highest on record in 41 years of tracking). C-367 did not pass second reading. Some related provisions were incorporated into the government's Bill C-63 (Online Harms Act) before it stalled.
