Mr. Speaker, I am a little sad today. I thought we were in this House to make laws for the people of Canada. I thought the job of the courts was to enforce and apply those laws.
It is clear that there is a perceived conflict in two laws that have been passed by this House, one making the possession of child pornography illegal and one protecting freedom of expression. The courts clearly are not sure which one we wish to be paramount.
There is a motion today whereby this House can make it very clear to the courts which law we wish to be paramount.
What is the problem with the lawmakers of this land, representatives of the people of this country, parents and children of this country making it clear that we do not wish to tolerate the possession of child pornography in our society?
