Mr. Speaker, it is an honour for me to rise to present a petition similar to the petition put forth by my colleague from Prince George--Peace River.
The petition has been signed by hundreds of citizens in Richmond and in the greater Vancouver area dealing with the problem of child pornography.
The petitioners note that the creation and use of child pornography is condemned by a clear majority of Canadians and some clear steps should be taken, including the outlawing of sado-masochistic and pedophilia material, and that parliament act quickly to make clear that such exploitation of children will always be met with swift punishment.
