Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, Minister MacKay, for your comments today.
I also wanted to recognize the fact that this summer, on August 15, you did a justice consultation in the riding I represent, Barrie. I would imagine you did a lot of these round tables around the country. I know it was greatly appreciated in Barrie where you did that round table with the chief of police, Kimberley Greenwood. We had a wide variety of stakeholders in that room who appreciated the opportunity to give you their sentiments and suggestions.
One of the individuals there that day was Mackenzie Oliver, who is a young advocate for laws on cyberbullying. I think it's great that the government has led on this front.
I thought I would touch a little on that issue. Some of the critics of cyberbullying legislation have complained that it gives police new powers. I realize it is a difficult balance in terms of privacy and addressing the fears and the very real threat of cyberbullying. Given the reality that people have multiple digital devices across multiple networks, in multiple locations, and it could be in multiple countries, how do you balance privacy with that need to tackle this new challenge?
