Thank you very much for your presentation.
I sympathize with my colleague. I would have made the same decision about the teddy bears. You made the right decision.
With social and peer pressure, I have unfortunately had to adapt to the digital era, to tablets and games, since I am a mother of two young boys.
I have done research on consent. I have noticed that parents put photos of their children on social networks and talk about their activities. I educate my young boys a lot about the importance of not posting just anything on those networks. There is a lot of educating to be done in that area, and it is our responsibility as parents. Unfortunately, we may miss some things.
I read that businesses may be forced to remove personal information posted on the Internet. It was said earlier that the processing of complaints would be a burden for businesses. If I have understood correctly, forcing businesses to remove personal information has to do with the right to be forgotten.
I don't know whether you are aware of this, but California passed a law on that issue, and I would like us to discuss it further. The law is titled Privacy Rights for California Minors in the Digital World, and it requires companies, websites and application designers to give children under the age of 18 an opportunity to delete information they themselves have posted. However, that piece of legislation does not pertain to information others have posted about minors.
What do you think about that? Could we apply the same principles here, in Canada?
