I can indicate to the committee that variations of this may exist in other countries. In the United States, at the federal law level they have an offence of using the mails to provide child pornography—for example, material to a young person. I believe there might be something similar or a variation of it in the United Kingdom's Sexual Offences Act.
But the approach taken here in Bill C-54 is unique in the sense that it reflects the Canadian law, with similar concepts and similar approaches. As the committee heard on Monday from Inspector Naylor, it's an issue that police have long spoken about that they would find very useful as another offence.
So we know it exists; we know that other countries have approached it perhaps somewhat in similar ways, but not exactly like this.
