Absolutely. I used Bill S-209 as an example. It is about the age verification for pornographic material online. That bill has been in Parliament for five years, and it is a prime example of how slowly Parliament moves on issues critical to protecting our children. I think the government does a great job of bringing these bills up and having conversations like this, but at the end of the day, when our kids are at the centre of this issue, I believe there should be some sort of rush on legislation that deeply affects them.
I think that we, as a government, as government bodies, need to invest in working with tech companies to provide those protections for our kids. We need to look at what the options are. I'm not a tech specialist, but I know that if we work with big tech, we can find a solution. I just hope that the government moves forward with meaningful conversations and a rush on legislation that can implement change so that our kids are protected.
