"The passage of this deeply troubling legislation, however, will not stop us from speaking the Word of God, even when Biblical truths are increasingly being labelled as hateful by those who are hostile to Christianity. God will not be mocked. We will continue to proclaim His Word." -Jeff Gunnarson, national president of Campaign Life Coalition

On Thursday evening, senators voted 45–13 to approve Bill C-9, or "An Act to amend the Criminal Code (hate propaganda, hate crime, and access to religious or cultural places)." There were two abstentions, and 35 senators were not even on site to vote on the bill.

As Bill C-9 was passed with amendments, it must now go back to the House of Commons, which must approve the amendments before it becomes law and then gets Royal Assent.

Last-minute amendments to the bill proposed by some Conservative senators that would have addressed concerns by many faith groups were rejected.

Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) blasted the passage of Bill C-9, saying that "God will not be mocked."

"This is a dark day for religious freedom and free speech in Canada," said Jeff Gunnarson, national president of CLC.
