Stephen Woodworth at the Justice and Human Rights Committee

I'm well aware of my propensities.

I want to speak in support of the motion for the reason that the title describes child pornography reporting. We want child pornography reporting because it will protect children from online sexual exploitation, just as was mentioned in the short title. It will protect them not only from pornography. Our witness mentioned that the provisions of this bill will prevent children from being lured. The provisions of this bill will permit police to rescue children who are being sexually exploited. The provisions of this bill will be used to prevent people who consume pornography from going out and exploiting children. The whole idea of preventing child sexual exploitation is at the heart of this bill. And I agree with Mr. Dechert; there is absolutely no reason we couldn't have adopted the short title to say that, because that's really what's behind this title.

Thank you.
