Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his warm comments about my presentation. I campaigned on family values. I tried to reflect that in my presentation.
I personally do not approve of pornography, especially child pornography, and I certainly would like to see the elimination of child pornography and see people who engage in that type of pornography harshly penalized.
This legislation is not one that addresses this specific concern. I know there are proposals to address these concerns. I hope that the quicker we bring them forth the cleaner and safer our society will be.
There are so many justice issues that we have to address it would be unfair to spread ourselves too thin. We are attacking one specific issue and that is the Young Offenders Act in this debate.
I certainly hope that the other issues, as the member has stated, come forth as soon as possible so that we can address them with the thrust with which we are addressing this Young Offenders Act. As I stated earlier, I think this is a step in the right direction. I believe there is room in the future, but again, let us not prejudge our youth. Let us give them the benefit of the doubt.
In the future I would be very happy to work in the area of eliminating pornography.
A motion to adjourn the House under Standing Order 38 deemed to have been moved.
