Mr. Speaker, many constituents of mine are outraged at a recent mailing that every home in the riding received advertising a package of so-called erotic adult only films. The increased availability of such films called original, uninhibited and sexually explicit in the advertising brochure is openly attributed to the benefits of free trade which, according to the same brochure, has led to such films now not only being permitted but also encouraged.
The wonders of free trade never cease to astound me. Good Canadian films still have a problem making it to market but American porn is given new opportunities.
I share my constituents' feelings that this kind of junk mail should not be handled by Canada Post. So-called erotica may have its place but its availability should not be imposed on people whether they like it or not through such universal mailings.
I call on the minister responsible to speak to Canada Post about this with a view to seeing what can be done to prevent further such mailings.
