They'll sit down for more talks later today. >> We need commitments right now. We need commitments to divest, to disclose and to cut ties with israeli academic institutions.

The school says it served documents with the ontario superior court of justice today and asked for expedited hearing. We spoke with a lawyer and director of the fundamental freedoms program at the canadian civil liberties association. We asked her whether she believes in a junction will be granted. Certainly, it will be up to the courts to decide that they may think that the notion of private property. >> I must be interpreted in light of the communal purpose of the university campus. So historically human at university campuses have been place for public debate exchange of ideas and expression of the says. So the un, as I said, the university's very own policies recognize that. So seeking the complete dismantlement of encampment to me, is that a reasonable limit to freedom of speech, but that will be to the court to decide. >> Ontario colleges and universities minister jill dunlop says she supports u of t taking legal action to put an end to the encampment. Free speech is important, that schools were very clear from the beginning that the candidates were considered trespassing and they would dealt with. >> And accordingly, we haven't seen that.

Oftentimes you stories on the news its ads and try to be empathetic when it's at home. It's a whole different this is not close to home. This is I spent many hours here day and and it was pretty shocking. >> I'm here to stand with you to say that anti-semitism, it's like cancer. We have to say no. It erodes the boss of empathy and compassion between people.

There are children who are affected by this and we need all over all of our neighbours of all communities stand with us and say hate against any community, including the 2 has no place in the city. >> Police have said it's too early to determine if the shooting is a hate crime or an act of terrorism.
