If there is any information that directly leads to a crime, there is an obligation on people, on everyone, to help make sure that the proper authorities get that information. This bill is very specific; it deals with child pornography. It is one more addition to the laws that have been enacted in this country for the last 17 years—it is the next step in this—so it doesn't purport to cover everything that all of us might find objectionable. It doesn't purport to cover every type of crime that may be committed; it is not the only answer to every type of investigation of a crime. It is very specific with respect to child pornography.
With respect to updating our Criminal Code on all types of investigation, specifically with respect to the Internet and other vehicles of communication, you will remember the other bills we have, Bill C-46 and Bill C-47, which will provide—Ms. Jennings will remember the term—“lawful access”. All these are part of those particular pieces of legislation, but this is very specific.
And so I'm encouraged that you say this is good legislation and I'm hoping we can all agree that good legislation should move forward. Thank you for those comments.
