We did present a brief to the Department of Justice over a year ago, which included that as one of the suggestions on the terminology.
In that report that came out, Every Image, Every Child, which was from the ombudsman, that was his number one recommendation. We've talked to a number of law enforcement people on that as well, and felt that the changing of the terminology sets a tone. The terminology of “pornography”, which we generally accept in Canadian society, North American society, and probably around the world, sets the tone. People tend to think, because the term “pornography” is in it, that it's not that bad. I've talked to people, well-meaning people, in some of my meetings across Canada, who said “Pornography is legal, isn't it?” I look at them, probably with a blank look on my face to the first few people who raise that, thinking, “How did you not know?”
I think that's what we're up against. The law really sets a tone for how Canadians view certain things. And that term “pornography” I think really does an injustice to the victims as well. Clearly, it won't change the Criminal Code per se, and the definition and the sentencing, and all those things, but it changes how we as a society look upon that kind of act against defenceless children. I think that's important.
