Mr. Speaker, again this is an important issue. For that reason Canada is hosting a number of international meetings that will touch on it.
There will be a meeting of the OECD in October in Ottawa which will deal with electronic commerce and other aspects of the information highway. As well, there will be an international conference held in Canada that will raise the very issues the hon. member has raised.
It is complex from a legal point of view. However, I believe it is key to understand that nothing distinguishes electronic communication from other forms of communication. All aspects of the Canadian law with respect to pornography and hate mongering apply equally.
