Madam Speaker, this petition is about unnecessary violence and abuse on radio, television and in other forms of the media.
These petitioners have great concerns as to the impact on the Canadian population of abuse and violence in the media. They request that the CRTC regulate all forms of unnecessary abuse and violence. Parents point out that often what occurs there is counterproductive to what they are trying to do in raising their families. They point out that there have been some advances made and the CRTC is to be commended for some of the steps it has taken.
Not only do they want this to go on, they want more progress. They believe it is necessary for their children.
