Mr. Speaker, I have two very quick questions for the hon. member.
First, does she believe that it is right for someone who has been convicted of exploiting children for pornography or for sexual interference with children to be given a conditional sentence and never serve a day in prison?
The second question is along that line. On April 24, 2002, the Canadian Alliance brought forward a motion that reads as follows:
That the government immediately introduce legislation to protect children from sexual predators including measures that raise the legal age of consent to at least sixteen, and measures that prohibit the creation or use of sexually explicit materials exploiting children or materials that appear to depict or describe children engaged in sexual activity.
What rationale can the member give that would explain her government's position on that motion and how will the members explain their own position in voting against it?
