Mr. Speaker, 16-year-olds cannot buy cigarettes, 16-year-olds cannot vote but in 1988 the Conservative government reduced the age of consent from 16 to 14.
Liberal proposals continue to do nothing to prevent children from being commandeered by adults for sex. It is no accident that the average age of recruitment for prostitution is 14. What will the justice minister do to protect our most vulnerable citizens? When will he raise the age of consent from 14 to 16?
