When I was recently in my riding, I was talking to Constable Butler, an RCMP officer who is dedicated to the high schools. He deals day in, day out with cyberbullying, and I talked to him about your bill. He reviewed it and said, listen, a lot of this stuff is already covered in the Criminal Code, and quite frankly this is overkill. If anyone took and read the fine print of the Internet agreements.... If it were determined that anyone was bullying by the Internet, it would be very, very simple to cut off the service of the person who was bullying. And you can well imagine in the world of a young person, whose life revolves completely around the Internet, how their world would be crushed.
Wouldn't that be a more effective way of stopping cyberbullying, where most of these elements are already in the Criminal Code, without infringing on the right of freedom?
