Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to present under Standing Order 36 a petition on behalf of the constituents of Erie--Lincoln.
The petition deals with the issue of child pornography. It acknowledges that the use of child pornography is condemned by the majority of Canadians. It also acknowledges that the courts have applied the child pornography law in a way which makes it clear that such exploitation of children will not always be met with swift punishment.
Therefore the petitioners call upon Parliament to protect our children by taking all necessary steps to ensure that all materials which promote or glorify pedophilia or sado-masochistic activities involving children are outlawed.
