Mr. Speaker, it goes on and on. A Moncton man was convicted of possession of child pornography and trading child porn on the Internet. Current legislation has no minimum standards so, no surprise, he was handed a six month conditional sentence. He goes home to his hard drive.
The new child porn bill, Bill C-20, does not provide minimum sentencing for these crimes.
Will the minister commit today to amend Bill C-20 to require minimum jail sentences for child pornographers?
