No, it is a non binding motion in the house asking the government to produce a report with recommendations. If the government choose to actually create that report it would then go to a committee to evaluate if actual new legislation is warranted. The the committee would draft legislation and if it passes committee it would get to the House of Commons for a vote.
Harper limiting the scope of the HRCs eliminated this concern and fixed the worst impingement on free speech by not allowing the quasi judicial body to rule on it.
