Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, and to your officials for joining us today to talk about this important bill.
Minister, last week when I was in my constituency, I listened to a speech by Chief Jennifer Evans of the Peel Regional Police. She mentioned in her speech that her police service had done a survey of the concerns that people have in Peel Region, some 1.4 million people, on criminal justice issues. She said that the number one issue for people in the Peel Region is school safety and bullying. Every parent across Canada is concerned about the issue of cyberbullying and intimidation over the Internet.
I know that our government believes in an equilibrium between prevention and prosecution. We believe that victims deserve justice and that authorities at every level must participate to prevent crimes on the Internet.
Could you tell us about some of the initiatives put forward by our government to prevent crimes on the Internet?
