I have had mixed advice on this, but I have decided that I will not call a division on it. Could I have a clarification on it? My understanding is that incitement to commit genocide is and has been an offence of long standing and that advocating genocide is now an additional offence that has been created here. I am just asking the Attorney: could he explain if that is the case? What is the difference?
