The Coalition of Hindus of North America's 2022 submission to a House of Commons of Canada committee on Bill C-229 argues for the term "Nazi Hakenkreuz" rather than "swastika" in proposed Canadian hate symbol legislation. Its strength is that it is a real, publicly filed primary document of an actual legislative debate, useful as evidence of the position taken and the argument made. Its limit is that it is advocacy by an interested party in an active political dispute, not a neutral or scholarly account of the swastika's history; this atlas cites it as evidence of the position taken, not as settling the terminology question.
