Canada Just Repealed the Bible Protection Clause 🚨 Bill C-9 Explained from a Christian View
Canada has officially repealed the “good faith religious defense” in Criminal Code Section 319(3)(b).
Bill C-9 passed the House of Commons on March 25, 2026, and is now before the Senate.
This report explains what Clause 4 removes, why it matters for the Church, and what Scripture says.
On Wednesday, March 25, 2026, the Canadian House of Commons passed Bill C-9 by a vote of 186 to 137, sending it to the Senate for First Reading the next day. While the bill is publicly framed as a measure to “Combat Hate” and protect places of worship, a specific repeal buried in Clause 4 has the faith community on high alert.
🔎 WHAT WAS REMOVED?
Bill C-9 repeals Section 319(3)(b) of the Criminal Code—the “good faith religious defense.” For over 40 years, this section provided a specific legal shield for those expressing opinions based on a belief in a religious text. Now, that shield is being deleted.
⚖️ THE CONTRADICTION
The government claims this bill protects religious communities by criminalizing the obstruction of places of worship. However, legal experts and critics point out a dangerous contradiction: the law now protects the physical building while removing the specific legal protection for the words spoken and taught inside it.
🌐 THE “ONGOING COMMUNICATION” RISK
In Canada, online content is considered an “ongoing communication.” This means that sermons, podcasts, or social media posts from years ago could potentially be judged under today’s new legal standards once the “good faith” defense is no longer available.
📖 BIBLICAL REALITY: ACTS 5:29
As the legal landscape shifts, we must remember the words of the Apostles in Acts 5:29: “We ought to obey God rather than men.” We are moving into a season where “sincerely held belief” is no longer an automatic defense in a Canadian court. The Church must be prepared to stand on Truth, regardless of the cost.
