Madam Speaker, it is my pleasure to present on behalf of constituents two petitions amounting to almost 600 signatures representing a concern in my constituency that the incidence of explicit sex, pornography, violence, rape, murder and unacceptable language, swearing on television, have become extremely frequent with little regard to the time of day or the viewing audience.
The petitioners are very concerned about the effect and the exposure to our children of violence and sex on television during daylight hours. They humbly request that the House of Commons legislate the CRTC to reduce the sexual and violent content contained in the basic cable and satellite packages.
