Thanks very much.
Before I move the motion, I have spoken to Michael and also briefly with Charlie. I have not had a chance to speak with my Bloc colleague.
In relation to Bill C-11, I'm not going to move any motion on Bill C-11. I just hope that we have a common understanding. As we head into the new year, I hope to be a more permanent member of the ETHI committee when Bill C-11 will ultimately be referred to us.
Just so that we take advantage of January as much as we reasonably can, there needs to be a broad consensus that we'll work off-line to develop a work plan and witness list. We can then hit the ground running in a collaborative way when we get back. I just want to put that out there, and I hope there is broad consensus for that.
Specifically, you all have noticed, and I think we have all read, the horrifying stories in relation to the failure of Pornhub and MindGeek to take down illegal content in a timely way, and that has seriously damaged lives. Women's testimony in media reporting has indicated very clearly that they have not been able to come back to living a normal life because of the damage of those videos and the images that have been shared.
As I provided notice, I move:
That the committee call representatives of Pornhub / Mindgeek, namely Feras Antoon and David Tassillo, to explain the company's failure to prohibit rape videos and other illegal content from its site, and what steps it has taken and plans to take to protect the reputation and privacy of young people and other individuals who have never provided their consent.
