Witness says M-103 could bring violence to Canada

Peter Bhatti's brother, Pakistan's former and only Christian Minority Affairs Minister, Shahbaz Bhatti (pictured), was assassinated in 2011 for being outspoken against his country's blasphemy laws, which carry the death sentence for anyone who insults Islam.
