Madam Speaker, the second petition deals with child pornography. The petitioners draw to the attention of the House that the creation and use of child pornography is condemned by a clear majority of Canadians and that the courts have not applied the current child pornography laws in a way which makes it clear that the exploitation of children will always be met with swift punishment. Therefore, the petitioners call on Parliament to protect our children by taking all necessary steps to ensure that materials which promote or glorify pedophilia or sado-masochistic activities involving children are outlawed.
