Madam Speaker, I assure the House that it is not only a burning issue but when I was secretary of state for the status of women it was an issue which I took an extraordinary interest in. I used that department to look at the issue of the exploitation of children and youth with regard to pornography and commercial sexual exploitation, because it is indeed close to my heart.
The member said that I did not mention that particular issue. What we are discussing here is not the issue itself; it is the principle that is laid out in the motion, that the courts have taken over the job of Parliament and are overriding Parliament. That is a principle we need to discuss regardless of what it applies to. The principle is what I was discussing, not the issue, because if one agrees or disagrees with that principle, then obviously it would apply to any particular incidence in which, as the members opposite decide, the courts have overridden Parliament.
