Justice Minister Sean Fraser has come under fire from the Bloc Québécois after he reportedly pulled his support for their amendment to his hate crime bill seeking to remove the religious defence to hate speech.

Fraser took questions from Bloc MPs in the House of Commons on Dec. 8, in his first public comments addressing the controversy that emerged last week.
