Ontario Greens Deputy Leader Aislinn Clancy has expressed alarm regarding Bill 166, which could empower the Minister of Colleges and Universities to limit political expression within postsecondary institutions. During public hearings, stakeholders highlighted fears that the bill might suppress pro-Palestinian sentiments and penalize students for voicing dissenting opinions. Clancy plans to propose amendments to safeguard free speech while combating hate and discrimination on campuses, urging the government to prioritize funding for anti-racism initiatives in higher education.
