Mr. Chair, I will split my time with my colleague Brent.
Thank you for joining us today, minister.
I attended the 19th annual meeting of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, which was held from July 6 to 10, 2010, in Oslo, Norway. I had the honour to introduce, on behalf of Canada, a resolution that was the core of Bill C-22. The core I'm talking about is the obligation Internet service providers have to report child pornography on the Internet.
The assembly consists of 57 countries, each of which sends, on average, two parliamentarians to the meeting. The resolution I had the honour to introduce on Canada's behalf was approved by your department. It was submitted to the OSCE's committee that deals with justice issues and was unanimously agreed upon. Then, it was introduced to the 57 member countries of the Parliamentary Assembly, and it was also unanimously adopted.
This resolution was the crux of Bill C-22. At this time, Canada is seen as a leader in this highly technical field. Some countries do not have this kind of technology and find that we are very good leaders in the field.
People who accompanied me, especially Bloc Québécois and Liberal members, helped us with the presentation. I would like to thank you, minister, personally, and especially on behalf of the children. They are the ones we must protect. I thank you for your support. I have noticed that throughout your career, you have fought relentlessly to protect the children.
I will now give my colleague Brent the opportunity to ask questions.
