In this circumstance...this is very important. We agree equally that this behaviour needs to be addressed, including with stronger criminal penalties for people who would abuse and exploit our children, full stop.
The laws we are adopting in Bill C-16, should this committee and the two houses of Parliament adopt them, will offer the kind of protection you're looking for. The only difference that you and I don't share an opinion on is that where the penalty would be intolerable to society, there should be some discretion for the court.
