Mr. Speaker, my second petition is from my riding and it states, “We, the undersigned residents of Canada, draw the attention of the House to the following: That our children need protection from sexual exploitation, therefore, your petitioners call upon Parliament to protect our children by taking all necessary steps to raise the age of consent from 14 to 18 years old”.
In the House of Commons on February 4th, 2005. See this statement in context.
