Thank you so much, Madam Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses.
We're talking here about one of the most serious bills, I think, that have come before Parliament, certainly in my time and many others' time. That is Bill C-63.
I want to start with you, Ms. Selby. This is on record from the Canadian Constitution Foundation:
“Bill C-63 combined things that have no reason to go together,” Van Geyn said. “The issue of the online sexual exploitation of children through pornography is urgent and serious and should not be lumped in together with the government’s controversial plans to criminalize all kinds of speech and allow for civil remedies through the Canadian Human Rights Commission for speech,” she added.
My question for you is this: Shouldn't we have a stand-alone bill or legislation that protects children from online perverts? Shouldn't that be its own legislation?
