Mr. Speaker, that still does not answer the question nor does it solve the problem.
A child abuse investigator must have the power to disrupt the illegal activities of those involved in the sexual exploitation of children. Criminals entice 14 and 15 year old children for sex because they are too young to make their own mature decisions. They do not understand the repercussions of having sexual acts with criminals.
Again, on behalf of our children, to protect them from pedophiles, pornographers and pimps, will the minister take the legislation back to the drawing board, change it and raise the age of consent?
