Mr. Speaker, the petitioners believe that unnecessary violence and abuse in all of their forms-be they verbal, physical, or other-in society in general and on radio and television have become major concerns in Canadian society. They also believe that abuse and violence are not necessary to inform or to entertain.
The petitioners want government to ensure the CRTC regulates abuse and violence in all of their forms in all of the media. The petitioners also applaud some of the recent progress made in this area.
