I’m pleased to have the opportunity to speak again, since it allows me to clarify something the minister said earlier regarding Via Rail delays. I am a regular Via Rail user. I love Via's services. When there are delays, most of the time it’s because of Canadian National. That’s another issue—which might be better discussed by another committee—but it’s still very important, and frankly, everyone would benefit from a more reliable passenger rail service.
Again, I’m pleased to have one last question for you. I’m straying a bit from today’s topic, but it’s an issue that could be relevant to this committee.
Recently, we conducted a study on the effects of social media on children and adolescents. The report from this study is highly anticipated. Many people believe that access to social media for young people should be restricted or banned—some propose the age of 16—as is the case in other countries. During our study, whose report will be released shortly, we heard thought-provoking arguments regarding a blanket ban on social media access for young people.
Following a convention you held in Montreal during the April by-election, rumour had it that the government was preparing to introduce legislation to that effect.
Do you think a bill regarding young people’s access to social media will be introduced? Will this fall under your department's purview? Where do things stand on this? Can you provide further details?
