Mr. Therrien is reluctant to speak because this involves the division of powers. Many of these issues fall under provincial jurisdiction. In Quebec, for example, the Civil Code governs the rights of the child.
I don't think those laws need to go beyond dealing with consent and protecting the data of children held by private sector organizations. That's really what these laws are designed to protect.
A little earlier, we talked about the age of consent. The bill could be more specific in some respects about the type of consent of the child, depending on their age. In Quebec, that distinction is made, but, again, in the rest of the world, it often varies. There is the age of majority and there are young children. Between the two, there are young people between the ages of 13 and 18 or 19, the age of majority.
In Quebec, the age of consent has been set at 14. This creates a lot of operational problems for organizations that want to put safeguards and measures in place to protect children. We should just keep that in mind.
