Thank you so much for that, Ms. Maynard.
Chair, with my remaining time, I'd like to move a motion, if that's okay with you:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(h), the committee undertake a study on children's digital privacy, to ensure that the data of Canadian children is adequately protected; that the committee review existing privacy frameworks, emerging technologies such as age-appropriate design codes, and emerging best-practices from comparable jurisdictions, including those implemented by the United Kingdom; and that the committee devote a minimum of three meetings to this study and report its findings to the House.
As more and more children are using devices and have access to a lot of the digital world, I really think it is pertinent for our government to ensure that we're really taking a deep dive and a deep look into how these companies or these data apps and channels are taking that information of a very sensitive nature of children of a very tender age and their online practices and how that data is used. I think it is very important for us to take on this study and ensure that we are doing right by Canadian kids as digital reality becomes more and more a reality within our households.
Chair, I put it to you. I would love our committee to support this.
