Thank you.
I certainly understand that many people such as you and Mr. Lee and others have compassion for the cause you're trying to put forward. I realize that. But I guess it is the frustration, after 13 years of working on child pornography and really getting somewhere in dealing with the problem after the fact, that it doesn't look as though we're ever going to be able to get rid of the problem because of the system. The system is supposed to work mostly, I think, for victims, and it doesn't seem to.
I appreciate your efforts on this bill.
Mr. Chairman, after listening to Mr. Fast's suggestion to amend the legislation—the amendment, I understand, has now been distributed among the people--I would at this time like to move that a paragraph (b) be added to section 172 following paragraph (a), as follows:
(b) an offence punishable on summary conviction and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding eighteen months.
Given the importance of the bill, Mr. Chairman, and the need to seriously address this phenomenon of child luring, I wonder if a member of the party opposite would be willing to second that motion.
