When it comes to the intimate images, the creation is what starts the cycle of victimization for the victim. We are seeing a tsunami of instances and examples where these types of images are being created, primarily of women and girls. This is a very gendered issue.
While we are happy to see the distribution of deepfakes being added into the intimate image offence, as well as the addition of the threats portion of that offence, we believe very strongly that the creation of these images also needs to be tackled. It may be there has to be some additional studies and some additional information to have it be constitutionally compliant, but I believe it's possible. I believe that the safety of women and girls in this country demands it.
