Certainly. That was a major motivator to take action in the first place. I should say, Mr. Housefather, thank you for your work on the committee and more broadly to advance measures that would combat hate in our communities.
The process of developing this legislation relied heavily upon the work of parliamentarians from different parties to inform the final version of the bill. We did not seek to turn this into a partisan affair. My hope was that this would cruise through the parliamentary process with the support of all parties in the House. I still hope we can get to a place where that remains the case.
