Thank you, Madam Chair.
We obviously all care about the health of children and about online harms. That's a no-brainer.
I guess the big question is.... Looking at something like Bill S-209—I believe, Ms. Wood, you mentioned that bill—we see that there are concerns that, for instance, using third party age verification providers could risk a second harm, meaning that a lot of these websites are located outside of Canada. You have to feed it data, highly personal data, and that could cause a real problem. Obviously, there's the argument about freedom of expression and censorship. There's also criticism of that bill because there is a very broad definition of what is sexually explicit material, and it could inadvertently apply to mainstream images and so forth.
The big question is this: How do we walk the fine line between too much government control and too little government control in protecting children?
I'll start with you, Ms. Wood, on that question.
