Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Senator, for joining us today to help inform the committee on this bill.
I voted in favour of this bill at second reading. I agree with the principle. Many of the members are parents—not only members around this table, but members in the House of Commons—so we come at this not just with a professional interest, but also with a personal interest.
That being said, it's generated a lot of correspondence from a lot of my constituents and, indeed, many people who know I'm a member of this committee. I come at this personally by trying to balance parents' real concerns over children's access, but I also want to find out a bit more about the people who are raising privacy concerns. That's why I want to pay particular attention to this study.
One of the questions I have.... We have received a number of briefs on this bill, as well as recommendations. One of the recommendations that came was with regard to the ability to verify users' ages at the point of access on devices, rather than on websites.
Are you familiar with this technology?
