There certainly are connections between the work I have been doing and IMVE. First of all, young people have, at least historically, been primary targets for radicalization initiatives, and in terms of hateful attacks we only have to look at incel extremism in Canada and elsewhere in the world to understand the degree to which women are the subjects and objects of attack by very violent and misogynistic physical violence and rhetoric.
Obviously we cannot in this context or in any other context, whether it be child pornography or anything else, draw direct causal connections between these issues. I'm not trying to do that, but they certainly seem to be related to each other and therefore certainly are a cause for concern.
I also think my work with young people related to the Internet is also important, because it has helped me to understand a little bit better what young people prioritize in terms of what issues they see and what sorts of supports and solutions they would like to see there.
While the young people we have spoken with definitely see room for legal responses to the kind of extremist content that's the subject of this hearing, there is a whole other part of the spectrum that young people are very interested in and, I think, are concerned about and want to have other kinds of approaches to that deal more swiftly with removal of content and so forth.
